Explore "Santa Claus" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Halt! Who goes there? The sentry's call / Rose on the midnight air / Above the noises of the camp, / The roll of wheels, the horses' tramp. / The challenge echoed over all -- / Halt! Who goes there?
A quaint old figure clothed in white, / He bore a staff of pine, / An ivy-wreath was on his head. / 'Advance, oh friend,' the sentry said, / Advance, for this is Christmas night, / And give the countersign.'
