MY FRIEND:
I've been thinking of you
And wondering, too,
What I might do,
With Christmas in view,
To prove it true
That I'm thinking of you.
No token I bring you of silver or gold,
No song do I sing you o(1}rave days of old;
But this good word of cheer
I would speak were you near:
"Hello. there, old comrade! Merry Christmas, I say,
And many returns of the bright festive day."
