Poems (Curwen)/A Christmas Wish

A Christmas Wish.
to each and all.
Joy fill your cup, Mirth with you sup, And plenty heap your table up, And Love preside; And sweet Goodwill Kind thoughts instil, And banish all remembered ill This Christmastide. And Hope be bright, And cares as light And transient as the snow-flakes white; And at your side Be gentle Peace: God grant you these, With blessings that shall never cease, This glad Yuletide.
