'The Song of The Holly Fairy'

O, I am green in Winter time,
When other trees are brown;
Of all the trees (So saith the rhyme)
The holly bears the crown.
December days are drawing near
When I shall come to town,
And Carol-boys go singing clear
Of all the trees (Oh hush and hear!)
The holly bears the crown

For who so well-beloved and Merry
As the scarlet Holly Berry?

It's been a while since I quoted something from my beloved Cicely Mary Barker. Book 'The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies'

Nice day today...went to the flicks to see 'Spectre'....Daniel Craig as usual, very good. Then off to Line dancing this evening. I'm feeling weary after all our travels last week,
