Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

There's not a string attuned to mirth
But has its chord in melancholy.
