Our Joyful Feast

So, now is come our joyful feast,

Let every soul be jolly!

Each room with ivy leaves is drest,

And every post with holly.

*     *     *

Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke,

And Christmas logs are burning;

Their ovens with baked meats do choke,

And all their spits are turning.

Without the door let sorrow lie,

And if for cold it hap to die,

We'll bury it in Christmas pie,

And evermore be merry!
