Madison Julius Cawein (Мэдисон Джулиус Кавейн) A Song for Yule I Sing, Hey, when the time rolls round this way, And the bells peal out, 'Tis Christmas Day; The world is better then by half, For joy, for joy; In a little while you will see it laugh-- For a song's to sing and a glass to quaff, My boy, my boy. So here's to the man who never says nay!-- Sing, Hey, a song of Christmas-Day! II Sing, Ho, when roofs are white with snow, And homes are hung with mistletoe; Old Earth is not half bad, I wis-- What cheer! what cheer! How it ever seemed sad the wonder is-- With a gift to give and a girl to kiss, My dear, my dear. So here's to the girl who never says no! Sing, Ho, a song of the mistletoe! III No thing in the world to the heart seems wrong When the soul of a man walks out with song; Wherever they go, glad hand in hand, And glove in glove, The round of the land is rainbow-spanned, And the meaning of life they understand Is love, is love. Let the heart be open, the soul be strong, And life will be glad as a Christmas song. Madison Julius Cawein's other poems: Распечатать (Print) Количество обращений к стихотворению: 1211 |
