AT THE PANTOMINE.
Our Jamie with his round blue eyes
And earnest wondering look,
Whose life is one serene surprise,
Unwittingly we took,
By way of treat one Christmas-time,
To see a merry Pantomine.
And earnest wondering look,
Whose life is one serene surprise,
Unwittingly we took,
By way of treat one Christmas-time,
To see a merry Pantomine.
He saw the clown—the clever thief—
Go stealing with applause;
He saw the honest come to grief
By pantomimic laws.
He quite enjoyed the curious clime
And manners of the Pantomine.
Go stealing with applause;
He saw the honest come to grief
By pantomimic laws.
He quite enjoyed the curious clime
And manners of the Pantomine.
And since we brought him home again
He cannot yet believe
It's different in the world of men
From that gay Christmas eve;
He thinks it's always Christmas-time,
And all the world's a Pantomime!
He cannot yet believe
It's different in the world of men
From that gay Christmas eve;
He thinks it's always Christmas-time,
And all the world's a Pantomime!
