물 아기: 톰과 바닷가재 냄비
Jessie Willcox Smith
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
Two children playing with toys (title-page vignette)
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He looked like a peddler just opening his pack
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!
