[FROM A FAIRY TO A CHILD.]
       Lady dear, if Fairies may For a moment lay aside Cunning tricks and elfish play, 'Tis at happy Christmas-tide.
       We have heard the children say-- Gentle children, whom we love-- Long ago, on Christmas Day, Came a message from above.
       Still, as Christmas-tide comes round, They remember it again-- Echo still the joyful sound "Peace on earth, good-will to men!"
       Yet the hearts must childlike be Where such heavenly guests abide: Unto children, in their glee, All the year is Christmas-tide!
       Thus, forgetting tricks and play For a moment, Lady dear, We would wish you, if we may, Merry Christmas, glad New Year!
       LEWIS CARROLL.
       Christmas, 1867.
