\nAs the day gives way to night
\nAnd the lake reflects the sinking sun
\nIn shimmering waves of rosy light<\/p>\n
\nAnd the young man ‘neath the trees
\nIs eager to get home, but still he pauses
\nTo admire the sight he sees<\/p>\n
\nAnd purple twilight has pushed aside the day
\nThen turns and mounts his horse
\nAnd continues on his way<\/p>\n
\nKnowing there’s not far to ride
\nUntil he’s home, warm by the fire
\nHis family by his side<\/p>\n
\nEspecially at this time of year
\nFor it is now December
\nAnd Christmas is almost here<\/p>\n
\nAnd joins his family inside
\nI send you compliments of the season
\nHave a wonderful Christmastide.
