say?

I will try to answer you "true as true."

It is just the loveliest, lovely day,

That is steeped in rose-color all the way through!

When miniature toy-shops in stockings are found,

That are left in the chambers without a sound;

And papa gives gifts with a tender cheer;

And brother "hurrahs for the top of the year;"

And sister looks on with her wistful eyes,

With a soft, sweet smile at every surprise:
