Breathes, Spring is here!

THE WAITS

There were sparkles on the window-pane and sparkles in the sky,

The moon it sparkled like a star above the world so high,

There was star-shine on the ceiling, there was star-shine on the bed,

There was star-shine in my eyes, I think, and star-shine in my head.

I clambered from my sleep, I did; I flung the window wide,

I wanted all that waited in the Christmas Eve outside,
