Inside Verse:Wishing you a jolly old holiday!
Back Poem:"...His eyes - how they twinkled; his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face, and a little round belly That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, - a right jolly old elf - And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself... He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight: "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
-Clement Clarke Moore,
(A journalist's poem to his children written in 1862.)
