Fair maid, brave youth, 'tis summer now, But as you stand together, Hands clasped, pray that your marriage vow May last through wintry weather. O, Santa Claus! I ask no toys Such as suffice for grown-up boys; No rings or smoking-jackets fine; No presents of cigars or wine; No pillows of unique design. I do not ask for bonds or stocks; For chased and gilded mantel-clocks, Nor even fine embroidered socks.
