Winter Sports
The children’s coats are downy white,
And ruddy winter berries bright
Are tam-o’-shanters warm and red
Upon each little golden head.
.
On sleds of holly leaves they coast,
Of silver skates they proudly boast
And snowball fights with tiny forts –
These are their jolly winter sports.

The ancient magical treasures you post on this blog never cease to amaze me. I love this. As a collector of old books and an admirer of antique illustrations, I pray you never stop posting on this blog!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am going to slow down a bit in the new year, but I will keep posting!
