In th e gloom, w hile blue th e sky,
In the d a ik , when sta rs were b rig h t.
W as its ever co n stan t sigh,
"W ho will give me lig h t? ”
So it chanced on w intry day,
T hat S an ta Claus cam e by,
And w hile restin g on his way
He heard th e woeful sigh.
Pity-m oved, a te ar he shed
At th e fir tre e ’s p lig h t;
Then w ith happy sm ile he said,
"I will give you light.”
And he took it tenderly
From the frozen ea rth .
W hile each m ighty, sp read in g tree
Lisped of C hristm as m irth.
Now behold in festal room
Children fa ir and b rig h t,
And th e Hr tree, once In gloom,
Blazing fo rth its light.
