Analysis of Under the Mistletoe
Darryl E Holmes 1962 (Los Angeles)
Under The Mistletoe
As we sit
by the nightly fire
what dreams and hopes
will lovingly transpire
On the mantle
stocking hang with care
children sleeping
this love we share
We are warmed
by the fire's glow
it's gleam sparkles
in our eyes it shows
over the river
and through the woods
it reaches all
in e - ver -y neighborhood
The wind may whistle
and the snow may blow
But I enjoy your love
under " The Mistletoe "
