NICHOLAS By DR. CLEMENT MOORE The immortal poem T'was the Night Before Christmas, or The Visit of St. Nicholas, was written by Dr. Clement Moore, professor of Divinity in a New York Theological Seminary. On the night of Dec. 23, 1822, he was telling his own children the story of St. Nicholas..A daughter of the Rev. David Butler, Epis- copalian rector, was present and heard Dr. Moore read a poem which she copied in her album. T'was the night before Christ- mas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced through their heads. And Mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap Had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I fled like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. SL LUM nn tne miner nM The moon on the breast of the new fallen' snow Gave the lustre of midday to objects below. When wha to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More ~rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name. "Now. Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer! and Vixen! On Comet! on Cupid! on Don- der and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall; Now dash away! dash away! dash away all." As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly When they meet with an ob- stacle mount to the sky, S0 up to the housetop the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas, too. And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof-- As I drew in my head and was turning around Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. "He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tar- nished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he bad flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack; His eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry, His cheeks were like roses, his nose, like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up in a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a round little belly, That shook when he laughed like a bow] full: of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a -- right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head 600n gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word but went straight to his work And filled all the tockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod, up the chim- ney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew. like the down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim ere drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night".
