CHRISTMAS MAGIC.
Deep hidden in the Woods of \ul» There lies a magic Christmas poof, And every year, with love and care, I carry all my friendships there. For some are worn and knocked about, And some have long been crowded out, And some are forced and overgrown, And some are simply skin and bond And some, of course, are true and fond, But all must go within the pond, I dip them to my deepest range, ■ And, heavens, if you saw the change, The new come out as good as old, The faded take the shine of gold. The halt, go leaping up the path, All glowing from their magic bath. I wish that I could say with truth It does the same for looks, or youth. There may be ponds for other ends; I only know the one for friends. Deep hidden in the Woods of Yule— The heart-renewing Christmas pool.
