I know, and I think I can explain to you. 'Tis true, my child, I can't but say I have a very curious way Of bringing presents to girls and boys Who have least need of pretty toys, And giving books, and dolls, and rings, To those who already have such things. 'Tis done for a very curious reason, Suggested by the Christmas season. Should I make my gifts to those who need, 'Twould become a time of general greed, When all would think, "What shall we get?" "What shall we give?" they would quite forget. So when I send my gifts to-day, 'Tis a hint "You have plenty to give away." And then I leave some poor ones out, That the richer may find, as they look about, Their opportunities close at hand, In every corner of the land. My token to those who in plenty live Is a gentle reminder, meaning, GIVE.
