The Empty Stocking
(Exchange)
There’s an empty stocking hang
up
From many a little bed.
Where a God-blown dream hangs
over
Each sleeping, curly head;
And the vision gathers nightly
Of a day that’s soon to come
Where little feet should patter
To the music, of the drum.
There's an empty .stocking hang
up
By a many wind-blown door,
That must wait in vain for Christ
mag
Jn the gray haunts of the poor;
And eyes that now shine bright
ly
JShall, through a rain of tears,
See nothing tin*re on Christmas
But the sorrow of the years.
But out where splendor centers
In the mnnsiomfl' of the Great,
No call will go unanswered—
No tot. will vainly wait;
The Christmas horn will summon
The Christmas drum will roll
The tide of joy fn. magic
Through flic gateway of each
j . ......1. t
But where ope /riff WfjpJfl brght
eil 1 j il’ f*ii
The dark of weary days,
No reindeer V hoot’s wjl| thunder
: Out poverty’s dreary ways;
And so, for God’s white season—
For some wee dreamer’s cause,
Bon’t you think that you might,
whisper 1 * i
•lust a word to Santa Claus.
