I admire the gleaming tree,  
With its white gleaming lights, 
And its satin ribbon, 
Enveloping its evergreen hips.
I admire the cold nights, 
With hot cocoa and warm fireplaces, 
And the wide, white sky, 
Whose tears are frozen and pallid upon the ground
  
I admire your silent bells, 
And your lengthy beard, 
Filled with Christmas secrets, 
And your aspiration to inspire the heart.
