Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the luster of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Pracer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the housetop the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas, too. And then in a twinkling I heard of the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughted when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" _____ _,---' `-,_ * `-,_ `-, `-,@@@@@@@@@@ _ @@@@@@@@@@@ (( )) (\_ ;;### ###;; {} \\ // {} __*__ (\_c\ ;; O ( O ;; \\---\/,-{=\ /= /\ \\ \ \ ( ) ;;, (_) ;; ~~\\//~~ \\ // \ \ \\ \ @@@@@ ;;//~\\;;; (\_(\ {{=\\//=} ___\_\_\__| \ \ __ ;;;;;;;;_ / (o \\// [==='`____`__ \ / /\ ;;;;; \ \_ ) ) \ <`--'> |_ :~|~~~~~~|__/ /\ \ `, `-,_ ; (`~; ) ('\ |##-,_|@@@@@@| \ \\/\ |_ @-,. __ .&' \ ; ; (/~ |######-,_,__|_,-,\ *\ \=====@) `-,_@,-c).(_(,-'' \&....| ; :; |#########`-----,_`-,\\/_______\::::::-,_ ; ) |_ \ |_&-. ..( |####{}#######|!!!`-,__________):::::::::`-,; @) .{ },-...\\& `) |##{ __}}#####|!!!!!!!!!-,_ `-,::::::::::_//| /(_)( || ; |#{ }##{ }####|!!!!!!!!!!!!`-,_ \::::--,:/!!!/ / \ //,--|: |#{ }###{}####|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!`---'!!!!!!!!!!| : ^ ) ;~/ // |##{ }#{ }####|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!} \ / \ \; / _// |###{_~_}#####|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,-:: /_/ \ \ C_/ |#############|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,-`X (( // __// |#############|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,-`X / \_,-'~ c__/ |#############|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,-`X / \/,-` `;############|!!!!!!!!!!!!,-X / \/,-`~ X`-;########|!!!!!!!!,-'X / \ /,-'~ /_\,-``-;####|!!!!!-'X / \_,-'~ `-' `-;|,-'X / \',-' /,-/,-'~ ; /,-'~ `,_,-~ Seasons Greetings from the *StarShip* on GEnie!

Brightly shone the moon that night, Though the frost was cruel. When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel. "Hither page, and stand by me, If thou know'st it, telling. Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" "Sire he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain; Right against the forest fence, By saint Agnes' fountain." "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, Bring me pine-logs hither; Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear them thither." Page and monarch forth they went, Forth they went together; Through the rude winds wild lament: And the bitter weather. "Sire, the night is darker now, And the wind blows stronger; Fails my hear, I know not how, I can go not longer." "Mark my footsteps, my good page, Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shal find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly." In his master's steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, Shall yourselves find blessing. ____ Still, Still, Still / ___) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( (__ \__ \ ___) ) (____/till, still, still, thy heart with joy I'd fill. I'd sing thee a song and watch by thy manger, Guard thee from harm and keep thee from danger, Still, Still, Still, thy heart with joy I'd fill. Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'mid the oxen and the sheep. The shepherds come to see thy glory, Angels bend low to tell thy story, Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'mid the oxen and the sheep. Still, still still, within Thy Holy Will. To Thee Great God, my voice I'd raise, With awe and wonder sing they praise. Still, still, still, Within Thy Holy Will. [Another version...] Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow. For all is hushed, the world is sleeping. Holy Star its vigil keeping. Still, still, still, one can hear the falling snow. Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'tis the eve of our Savior's birth. The night is peaceful all around you, Close your eyes let sleep surround you. Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'tis the eve of our Savior's birth. Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come. While guardian angels without number Watch you as you sweetly slumber, Dream, dream, dream, of the joyous day to come. [German Lyrics] Still, still, still, Weil's Kindlein schlafen will! Maria tut es niedersingen, ihre keusche Brust darbringen. Still, still, still Weil's Kindlein schlafen will! Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf! Die Engel tun schon musizieren, bei dem Kindelein jubilieren. Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf! Grosz, grosz, grosz, Die Lieb ist ubergrosz! Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen und musz reisen auf der Straszen. Grosz, grosz, grosz, Die Lieb ist ubergrosz!
