DECEMBER
Oh, holly branch and mistletoe
And Christmas chimes where’er we go
And stockings pinned up in a row—
These are thy gifts December!
And if the year has made thee old
And silvered all thy locks of gold
Thy heart has never been a-cold
Or known a fading ember.
The whole world is a Christmas tree,
And stars its many candles be.
Oh, sing a carol joyfully
The year’s great feast m keeping,
For once upon a December night
An angel held a candle bright
And led three wise men by its light
To where a child was sleeping.
—Harriet F. Blodgett.

A SIMPLE PRAYER
(Homer McKee)
Teach me that sixty minutes
make one hour, sixteen ounces
one pound, and one hundred
cents a dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear con
science, without a gun under my
pillow, and unhaunted by the fa
ces of those to whom I have
brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that I
may earn my meal ticket on the
square, and in doing thereof that
I may not stick the gaff where
it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of
tainted money and the rustle of
unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the
other fellow, but reveal to me
mine own.
Guide me so that each night
when I look across the dinner ta
ble at my wife, who has been a
blessing to me, I will have noth
ing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to
laugh with my children and to
lose myself in their play.
And then when comes the
smell of flowers, and the tread
of soft steps, and the crushing of
the hearse’s wheels in the gravel
out in front of my place, make the
ceremony short and the epitaph
simply:
“HERE LIES A MAN.”
