A LEGEND OF ST. NICHOLAS
| Nicholas | heathen | apparel | aching |
| jeweled | suddenly | sniveling | kindred |
| banquet | anguish | vanished | giant |
The tales of good St. Nicholas
Are known in every clime;
Told in painting, and in statues,
And in the poet’s rhyme.
In England’s Isle, alone, to-day,
Four hundred churches stand
Which bear his name, and keep it well
