CHINA MAIL CHRISTMAS SUPPLEMENT, 1930.
The Christmas Trail
Then and Now
A crack of the whip, we were off through the streets,
And we snuggled down cozy and deep.
As the horse sped along and the bells slapped his flanks,
Over snow that had drifted in heups,
Christmas day-the white horse-and the shining black sleigh.
I think of them now with a sigh.
While I step on the gas and I send the old girl Just one mile a minute on high!
We sang as we ride, and the frost of our breath
We sung just the harder to see.
And we clapped mittened hands to keep warm for the hour
As we slipped over bridge and by tree.
Christmas day--and the horse—and the shining black sleigh,
The jingle and tinkle of bells;
Oh, how I remember them—büssfully sweet--
In the story past Christmas times tell
I think of that fun vu that trim Christmas sleigh
As I follow the gasoline trail
In these days of the pavement, the moter und coupe,
That rival the train on the rail.

7, Ice House Street:
We packed"
in the sleigh and went slipping away
Over fields, over fences und roads,
That led out to Grandfather's farm where we drove
In jolly big Christmastime loads.
