RECITATION—Christmas in all the Lands
(For four children. They recite singly and then in concert, beginning with the words in the last verse, “Lo, want and sin,” etc.)
FIRST CHILD.
From the wild Northland where the wolf’s long howl
Stirs the depths of down in the ocean fowl,
And the white bear prowls with stealthy creep
To the spot where the seal lies fast asleep,
And the sledges flash through the silence vast
Like a glittering dream, now here, now past,—
