The forest raised a Christmas tree,
‘Twas silent and serene
In winter and in summer
It was slender and so green.

The wind sang it a lullaby:
Sleep Christmas tree, sleep tight!
The snow was making clothes for it:
It was a pretty sight!

trembling bunnyt himself
Beneath its arms so wide;
The hungry wolf just passed him by -
lovely place to hide!

Some sleigh bells rang throughout the woods,
The snow was crisp and clean,
horsey brought a forester
To hew that tree so green.

And now [bad word] to visit us,
With lights and garlands bright,
While all the children dance and sing
To greet it with delight!
