Wert thou a selfish, cunning boy?
Ah no, ah no!
Tradition findeth no alloy In thy make-up, but giveth thee A generous heart, from baseness free, Alike the snow.
White out and in, a giver pure, With heart all warm,-- This! is thy spell, direct and sure, O'er boy and girl; who think it good To paint thy face in comic mood-- It does no harm.
But clothed in loving, reverent mien Tradition gives-- Thou art, in this, by seniors seen, To meet the life of one who was The mother of Saint Nicholas: In thee she lives.
