So Put the Kettle On
Christ mass is the time for
Friends and family
To gather and to join.

Because,
When the snow is falling
And the winds are howling
We will know
That we belong.

Friendship, 1913

A POET might sing you his sweetest of
          songs,
   But this must the poet have known:
Of the heart whose love to you only be-
          longs,
Whose strength would be spent to save you
          from wrongs,
Of a soul knit to yours with the mightiest 
         thongs,
   And sing them for you alone!

An artist might paint you a picture fair
   That would equal the greatest known;
But the heart of a friend, to do and to dare,
To save you from sorrow, and trial, and
          care,
Is something an artist, paint he ever so
          rare,
   Has never on canvas shown!
