I CAN NOT give you happiness : br For wishes long have ceased to bring br The Fortune which to page and king br They brought in those good centuries, br When with a quaint and starry wand br Witches turned poor men's thoughts to gold br And Cinderella's carriage rolled br Through moonlight into Fairyland. br br I may but wish you happiness : br Not Pleasure's dusty fruit to hnd, br But wines of Mirth and Friendship kind, br And Love, to make with you a home. br But may Our Lord whose Son has come br Now heed the wish and make it true, br Even as elves were wont to do br When wishing could bring happiness.
