MID the many celebrations last Christmas Eve, in various places by different persons, there was one, in New York City, not like any other anywhere. A company of men, women, and children went together just after the evening service in their church, and, standing around the tomb of the author of "A Visit from St.
know so well and love so dearly. Dr. Clement C. Moore, who wrote the poem, never expected that he would be remembered by it. If he expected to be famous at all as a writer, he thought it would be because of the Hebrew Dictionary that he wrote.
-- there all his life. It was a great big house, with fireplaces in it; just the house to be living in on Christmas Eve. Dr. Moore had children. He liked writing poetry for them even more than he liked writing a Hebrew Dictionary. He wrote a whole book of poems for them.
' ; usually call 'T was the Night before Christ- mas," to give to his children for a Christmas present. They read it just after they had hung up their stockings before one of the big fireplaces in their house. Afterward, they learned it, and sometimes recited it, just as other children learn it and recite it now. It was printed in a newspaper. Then...
cal Seminary, New York City, put a holiy wreath around Dr. Moore's picture, which is on the wall of their dining-room. Why? Because he gave the ground on which the General Theological Seminary stands? Because he wrote a Hebrew Dictionary? No. They do it because he was the author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas."

WAS the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ;
HEN out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. HE moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
ITH a little old driver, so lively and quick., I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! ' Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too. XD then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
Down the chimnev St. Nicholas came with a bound. E was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot, A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack. IS eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cher...
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
Scroll Down. ’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ...
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the So up to the house-top the coursers they With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas ...
