T’was the twenty-sixth of December
And now that the dishes are done,
The house is dark, the family silent,
The course of the day is run…
I admit that I feel quite exhausted,
But sleep, last night, did quite elude,
Until the wee hours of morning –
So weariness, my day did exude.
So, good-night, to any night readers,
Good-morning to those who sleep first,
Good-afternoon to yet others who wait longer…
As to the rest – farewell for now… until the next verse…
To the KING be all the glory!
