DLTK's Holiday Activities
Ever Green

(This is a snippet of a poem by John Clare)

Each house is swept the day before,
And windows stuck with evergreens,

The snow is besom'd from the door,
And comfort crowns the cottage scenes.

Gilt holly, with its thorny pricks
And yew and box, with berries small,

These deck the unused candlesticks,
And pictures hanging by the wall.
