Légende
A Song for Christmas, 1857. Words by Mark Lemon, music by Frank Romer. 'Amid our wreaths of holly green There is one cypress spray, In mem-'ry of the griefs we've seen, And loved ones pass'd away; Nor will the wine less gen'rous prove, Although in silence quaff'd, And in each cup some tears of love Are mingled with the draught, Are mingled with the draught. Now, a thankful measure! Hush'd be all complaining, Whilst we count the treasure That we have remaining! See! Of all the loving Time has not bereft us! Fond hearts still are proving How much love is left us. Friends we've tried found truer! Hope and faith made stronger! Though our joys are fewer, Who would sorrow longer? Lo! A thankful measure! Hush'd be all complaining, Whilst we count the treasure That we have remaining, Whilst we count the treasure That we have remaining'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
