| Hearthfire Magic Author: Unknown In the stunning silence Of a winter's night, When the pine cones shiver At the snow's frost bite, When the frosted faeries Around chimneys gather, To warm themselves With family fire and laughter, When the streets are paved With silent snow, Paying homage To the streetlights' glow, I can see the moon In her velvety perch, Gracing celebration With seasonal mirth. Heaven's decor Of a silvery hue; Constellations transformed At the holiday cue. So Orion seems jolly In the seasoned dreamer's fog, While the Big Dipper dips Into celestial nog. And these sights hold their magic; Remains through the year: A silvery reward For every heartbreak and tear. We share this great time Around hearths and dear friends, Toasting and giving, Always laughing again. Freedom of spirit Through laughter and song Ease, comfort, happiness Echoes loudly and long. And so, lift your glass; Let me toast you your health! Let me toast all the things That might lend you true wealth: Gaiety, levity, Faith in all men, Wonder, serenity, Love for to mend, And warmth--the great one-- Warmth to melt the snow Warmth for this Christmastime May warmth ever grow So the magic of winter Silver as the moon, Will shine harmoniously With your golden warmth's boon. Hearthfire hear me, And burn for us all! Keep the great balance And we won't let you fall! |
