Explore "A Christmas Tree" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
To night the children meet with glee / To view the fruits on Christmas Tree, / And when its beauties we behold / We're very sorry we are old.
The children all they have good cause / To feel grateful to old Santa Claus, / And to each teacher, and each friend, / Who did these handsome presents send.
To us it is a pleasant treat, / With so many friends here to meet, / You've well conducted public school / Where master doth judicious rule;
The union it doth give its strength, / Gives section breadth, as well as length.
Nissouri here should build a Hall, / For exhibitions in the Fall;
Its claims they cannot be ignored, / For first in township stands Thamesford.
This village keeps up with the age, / For it hath a good daily stage / And in its efforts never fails / To carry passengers and mails.
