Poems . other varying year The merry season Christmas brings. Is there a heart which does not beat,And throb with feelings of delight, When child and parent joyful friends and families unite ?

Pleasures as innocent as pure, Yet bright and lovely though they be, They only a brief space endure,But Christmas gave a friend to me. Hail! precious gift, of value rare,AYhat gold could never, never buy. What gem with friendship can compare ?What boundless treasures with it vie ? Celestial plant, removed a buds and blossoms for the skies. Transplanted to its native clime,Matured in loveliness to rise. THE END. LIBRftRY OF CONGRESS ?n 0 015 971 157 2. STATE HOUSE, BOSTOX.
