Mistletoe

Walter De La Mare 1913

Sitting under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), One last candle burning low, All the sleepy dancers gone, Just one candle burning on, Shadows lurking everywhere: Some one came, and kissed me there. Tired I was; my head would go Nodding under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), No footsteps came, no voice, but only, Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely, Stooped in the still and shadowy air Lips unseen—and kissed me there.   Hanging the Mistletoe by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1860     Always Blessed, Gretchen :)   poem found: http://poetry.about.com/library/weekly/bldelamarechristmas.htm     Christmas Poem Part 1 Christmas Poem Part 2 Possibly Linking With: Cornerstone Confessions Raising Arrows  Modest Mom Blog  Deep Roots At Home The Better Mom Monday Link Up Frugally Sustainable Artful Homemaking Far Above Rubies A Wise Woman Builds Her Home Wholehearted Home
