• Sitting under the mistletoe
    (Pale green, fairy mistletoe),
    One last candle burning low,
    All the sleepy dancers gone,
    Just one candle burning on,
    Shadows lurking everywhere:
    Someone came, and kissed me there.

    Tired I was; my head would go
    Nodding under the mistletoe
    (Pale green, fairy mistletoe)
    No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
    Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
    Stooped in the still and shadowy air
    Lips unseen - and kissed me there.
