Christmas work at last The gifts had all been given The holidays were past And dozing in his armchair With his cat upon his knees The good saint smoked his honest pipe And took his honest ease But something roused him quickly He started from his seat A soldier bold a maiden fair Were kneeling at his feet St Nicholas the maiden cried Behold my fearfuj plight These woundfc have been inflicted Since that dreadful dreadful night When you left me in the stocking Of a being I dare not name She paused The soldier raised his voice And said I blush with shame To stand before your saintship n the dress you now behold But the way I have been treated Makes my very blood run cold Ive been nursed and kissed and cod dled Ive been rocked and sung to sleep A SOLDIER BOIiD A 3IAIDEN FAIB WERE KNEELING AT HIS FEET Oh were I not a soldier still Id almost like to weep Ah mused the good St Nicholas I think I understand And he smiled a merry little smile And coughed behind his hand Twas on that busy Christmas eve When all was in a whirl This doll was given to a boy This soldier to a girl And then aioud he gravely said I grieve to see your pain But if youll stay with me a year All shall be well again Next Christmas eve my children When you are well and strong I will put you in the stockings Where you really do belonr I wonder where my soldier is Cried gentle little Moll And Baby gazing round him sobbed Where is my baby doll But though they hunted high and low And searched both far and near The -maiden and the soldier bold 1 Ware seen -no -more that year - v- - -- - ijHIBJ Time Card
