 '"FWAS 
 
 ^' long ago, 
 the 
 legends 
 say, 
 
 Sir Roderick gave a party gay 
 On Christmas night at Lynden Hall; 
 
And ladies fair and gallants tall, 
 And lord and matron old and gray, 
 
 Came one and all 
 
 To Lynden Hall. 
 
 'T^HE Yule log blazed and burned and roared, 
 And flames and sparks up chimney soared. 
 In festoons gay the holly swung, 
 The mistletoe demurely hung 
 
From arches 
 
 ^ o'er the 
 
 festal board, 
 
 And shyly clung 
 
 Where bri2;ht lig;hts hung. 
 
T^HE liolly's berries, pale and white — 
 And not as now so red and bright — 
 Were woven with the mistletoe 
 And hung just where — now you must know 
 What surely haps on Christmas night 
 
 If maiden go 
 
 'Neath mistletoe. 
 
 A ND when beneath this magic spray 
 Fair Gladys happ'd perchance to stray, 
 Up quickly stepped a gallant knight 
 And kissed her there, as was his right 
 
And all the legends truly say 
 That ne'er did knight 
 Give kiss so lisht. 
 
'X'HE holly berries overhead 
 Grew rosy and turned crimson red; 
 For when they saw the lovely hue 
 On Gladys' cheek, what could they do 
 But droop and blush? So rosy red 
 
 In blushing too, 
 
 The holly grew.
