From: Carol by: Kenneth Grahame

Villagers, all this frosty tide,

Let your doors swing open wide.

Though wind may follow, and snow beside,

Yet draw us in by your fire to bide;

Joy shall be your in the morning!

Here we stand in the cold and the sleet,

Blowing fingers and stamping feet,

Come from far away to greet-

You by the fire and we in the street-

Bidding you joy in the morning!
