MAY THIS, THE LONG YEARS GLADDEST DAY, FIND YOU THE GAYEST OF THE GAY
picture of a lady feeding cows verse on back:- ALONG THESE SMILING MEADOW WAYS THERE LIES NO HINT OF WINTRY DAYS, ALL IS SO SUNNY, WARM AND GREEN, YOU'LL ALMOST WONDER WHAT I MEAN, BY TANTALIZING THUS YOUR EYES DITH BLOOMING MEADS AND PERNAL SKIES, BUT I CAN BETTER THUS EXPRESS MY WISHES FOR YOUR HAPPINESS, FOR THOUGH THE SKIES BE CHILL AND GRAY, AS IS THEIR WONT ON CHRISTMAS DAY, THE FESTIVAL DOTH STILL IMPART A WARMTH LIKE SUNSHINE TO THE HEART! -- H.
