A Song For Yule

I     Sing, Hey, when the time rolls round this way,     And the bells peal out, 'Tis Christmas Day;     The world is better then by half,     For joy, for joy;     In a little while you will see it laugh--     For a song's to sing and a glass to quaff,     My boy, my boy.     So here's to the man who never says nay!--     Sing, Hey, a song of Christmas-Day! II     Sing, Ho, when roofs are white with snow,     And homes are hung with mistletoe;     Old Earth is not half bad, I wis--     What cheer! what cheer!     How it ever seemed sad the wonder is--     With a gift to give and a girl to kiss,     My dear, my dear.     So here's to the girl who never says no!     Sing, Ho, a song of the mistletoe! III     No thing in the world to the heart seems wrong     When the soul of a man walks out with song;     Wherever they go, glad hand in hand,     And glove in glove,     The round of the land is rainbow-spanned,     And the meaning of life they understand     Is love, is love.     Let the heart be open, the soul be strong,     And life will be glad as a Christmas song.
