Mistletoe

Christmas Poems
Mistletoe Christmas Kisses
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:
Some one 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.
- Mistletoe Poem by
Walter de la Mare
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall.
