HOMELESS
‘O! Christmas Day, Oh! happy day!
A foretaste from above,
To him who hath a happy home
And love returned from love!’
A foretaste from above,
To him who hath a happy home
And love returned from love!’
O! Christmas Day, O gloomy day,
The barb in Memory's dart,
To him who walks alone through Life,
The desolate in heart.
The barb in Memory's dart,
To him who walks alone through Life,
The desolate in heart.
1826.
