Stand forth yon elf and speak, that I may know
These are no tricks that on my fancies grow. [Frosties all dance out on the snow--Master Frosty steps forward with greeting:] M. F.-- I'm the master of the Frosties' band, On outpost duty from the Arctic land; You need not fear, 'Tis friends are here. Your lonely sorrow we can understand, And would in sympathy just clasp your hand. If for your grief You find relief In telling us the cause of all your woe, Your confidence we will respect, I know; And we'll be true As skies are blue. Paolo-- It is a story of a winsome maid That yester eve across my pathway strayed. That I was shy I can't deny; But if it will not weary you to hear, I'll try and tell you what I found so dear, When o'er a stream As in a dream I helped Virginia to the further shore, And lost my heart to her for evermore. |
