'Tis winter-time as snow-flakes fall; br 'Tis Christmas-time for all; br And Christmas eve has come at last, br A time to enjoy fast. br br A winding lane leads to a door, br A dainty cottage door; br Where baby Jesus will be born, br In freezing cold, one morn! br br A Christmas tree is all alit, br With gifts and festoons nice; br As Santa's sledge moves bit by bit, br With gifts, over the ice.
