They come to our islands far beyond the seas
And tell us of such lands and tribes as these.
They teach us words like “peace,” “to men good will,”
And show us what it is to drive and kill.
I can’t quite understand the things they say,
It seems to me a very curious way;
But these are children just like me, and so
They have good times in their own lands, I know.
If Santa Claus can make me glad like these,
And bring such ways to us beyond the seas,
