(Calls out without rising.)

Ah, here’s my youngest brother come at last:

Come in, December.

(He opens the door and enters, loaded with evergreens in berry, etc.)

Come in and shut the door,

For now it’s snowing fast;

It snows, and will snow more and more;

Don’t let it drift in on the floor.

But you, you’re all aglow; how can you be

Rosy and warm and smiling in the cold.
