A Winter Wassail

Monica Richards


Wassail Wassail; All merit good cheer  
We wish thee dear faithful a wondrous New Year  
Our fine bowl is made of the white maple tree  
With the Wassailing bowl we honor thee  

So here by the fire good spirits renewed  
We wish thee dear faithful: thy dreams may come true  
As white snow doth fall o'er the old willow tree  
Wassail Wassail; We honor thee  

So come all young maidens and join us in song  
For this is the season warm love need hold strong  
The cold wind doth blow o'er the elderwood tree  
Wassail Wassail; We honor thee
