Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;”

Knee skirts trimmed with the jassamine sweet,
And bells on their ankles and little black feet.”
