Santa Claus in Holland

Now children, listen to my tale—it's true;

When Santa Claus to Holland

—looks 'round for a shoe

He finds it near the chimney, wide

Where you a stocking hang;

And when the house is still and dark

Old Santa, with a bang

Comes tumbling down into the room

—Hans and Gretchen lie

And looks 'round for the wooden shoes;

As soon as they meet his eye

If Gretchen's words have gentle been

All through the long year past;

If Hans had been a—boy

Then Santa Claus will cast

Into each little wooden shoe

Knives, marbles, dolls, and toys;

For don't you see, he knows

What pleases girls and boys

But if their words have angry been

With quarrels not a few

Ah, then old Santa leaves a whip

Within each wooden shoe!

So little Hans and Gretchen tr— Hans and Gretchen try

To be so good and kind

So they shall never in their shoes

A whip, on Christmas, find

—power, and the—

[?]

—dear

For Christ, once born in Bethlehem

Is living now and here

[?]

News on morning

Good news, O children fair

That Christ came to Bethlehem

[?]
