little
little silent Christmas
you are so little
you are more like a 
who found you in the green 
and were you very 
to come away ?
see i will comfort you because you smell so sweetly
i will 
your cool 
and 
you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don’t be 
look the spangles that sleep all year in the dark
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine
the 
the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold
every 
shall have its 
and there won’t be a single place dark or unhappy
then when you’re quite dressed
you ‘ll stand in the 
for every one to see
and how they’ll stare !
oh but you’ll be very proud
and my little sister and I will take 
and looking up at our beautiful
we’ll dance and sing
“Noel Noel”
