We looked like a winged snow-flake.

But soon at a homestead we halted,

Old Santa said I must alight,

To see if the children were sleeping,

And leave them whatever was right.

So I crept to the casement—it opened,

And I saw what I ne’er shall forget—

Those darlings there slumbering sweetly,

The thoughts of the night-fall had met.

We gave them all kinds of nice presents,
