On Christmas was our wedding day, and I remember still

How Philip bent above me then—how clear his words, “I will.”

(No. 7 Tableau—Wedding.)

And every Christmas after that grew fuller of earth’s joys

As to us came the blessed gifts of darling girls and boys.

How long ago it seems—and yet—I always hold them dear,

Those memories so full of love and sweetest Christmas cheer.

(No. 8 Final Tableau.)
