WISHING YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

With all good things that CHRISTMAS brings
 may PLENTY fill your board,
That you may still your fellowman
 some welcome aid afford,
For, know, who giveth to the poor,
 he lendeth to the LORD.

High up on her airy nest.

THE SONG OF THE STORK

       SUMMER
	   
On meadow and hill and woodland
The sunshine showers its gold,
And the grateful earth in beauty
Restores it a thousand-fold.

The fields are fragrant with clover,
The lilies gleam on the lake,
And out of the glowing roses
The bees their honey-dew take.

The black clouds gather in battle,
The lighting quiver and flash;
And, drowning the rain's light patter,
Comes the awful thunder-crash.

And, alike through storm and sunshine,
With joy and peace in her breast!
The dear Mother - Stork sits tranquil,
High up on her airy nest.
