RUN ALONG SANTA
Run along, Santa, to a little fellow’s
house,
Where there isn’t any fire and there
isn’t any coal,
Where there isn’t any cheer, any love,
any soul,
Where there isn’t a crumb you could
feed to a mouse,
Where it’s dark, where it’s drear, where
it’s chill, where it’s sad —
Run along, Santa, where they long to
be glad!
Run along, Santa, to a little girl’s
home,
Where there aren’t any dolls, and sleds,
any toys.
Where there aren’t any songs, and
smiles and joys,
Where there isn’t anything you could
put in a poem,
Where it’s cold, where it’s bleak, where
it’s dull and gray—
Run along, Santa, where they long to
be gay!
Run along, Santa, to every little place,
Where the sun doesn’t shine as it does
for those
Who have lived like the bird and the
brook and the rose,
With a twinkle in the eye and a smile
on the face,
Where they hunger so much for a little
of your cheer —
Run along, Santa, that’s a dear, that’s
a dear!
Run along, Santa, till you’ve gone all
around,
Where there aren’t any candies, any
cake, any lights,
Where they crawl, ’neath such thin
little covers at nights,
Where they wake to such toil and such
sorrow and care,
To such ache and such grief in their
hearts of despair,
To such longing, such yearning for a
happier lot—
Run along Santa, that they be not for
got!
—The Bentztown Bard.
Gandies In Windows For
Christmas
Old, very old in England, is the
custom or setting lighted candles
in the windows on Christmas eve,
to give holiday greetings to the
passerby, but little use has been
made of this charming idea in
our country.
Weeks before Christmas when
plans were being made for the
Community tree, it was suggest
ed that each household set light
ed candles in the windows to
wish “Merry Christmas” to their
fellow tonwspeople.
This custom has been adopted
in Baltimore the last few years
and not even the most enthusias
tic supporter of the candle greet
ing expected to see half the num
ber of windows that were lighted
when Christmas eve came. Scar
cely a citv block in any section
of the city was without at least
one illumination and it was not
rare to see every house in a row
brightened by this evidence of
“Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Men.”
warmed the verv cockles of
one^sb eart to walk through street
after Street with these silent
Christies greetings everywhere
and no ofoe who has gone through
such experiences could ever want
to know another Christmas eve
without them.
