Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...glide; And "Peace on earth" rang Modbury bells, 5 And Ermington bells replied. How goes it, Father Christmas? Was the burden of all their song; And what could a Devonshire pedlar say But "Picking---picking along." Chorus. He needs a cloak and a pair of shoes, But his heart is young and strong! How goes it, Father Christmas? Oh--picking--picking along. A Maid. What is the song that shall be sung? The Music. A tale of a wedding when all was young. A Man.

Too long, my dear, you've tarried; And I hope that we all may blush so red On the day that we walk---with the sky-lark car olling---Walk through the dew to be married. It is only an English song we sing For O, we know no Latin! But your...
