St. Nicholas Day

 

Upon his snow white steed

 With wind and lightning speed

St. Nicholas leaves the sky

And comes a riding by.

 

The little hare hops nigh

And lifts his nose up high.

The stag, with pointing horn,

Jumps over bush and thorn.

 

And all the creatures dear

Are drawing quickly near.

Before St. Nicholas bow

Their little heads so low.

 

But we will learn a tune

Of sun and star and moon,

And sing our happy lay,

Sing on St. Nicholas Day.

 

~ Traditional German poem

 

Wishing all who have been visited by the kindness and generosity of St. Nicholas a beautiful and heart~filled day xo
