A Christmas Song

Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas to-night!

Christmas in lands of fir tree and pine;

Christmas in lands of palm tree and vine,

Christmas where snow peaks stand solemn and white;

Christmas where cornfields lie sunny and bright;

Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas to-night!


Christmas where children are hopeful and gay;

Christmas where old men are patient and grey;

Christmas where peace like a dove in its flight,

Broods over brave men in the thick of the fight;

Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas to-night.
