Good Santa Claus was overjoyed is dear old friend to see,
And treated her to cake and nuts from off a Christmas tree.
Just what was said on either side I can’t exactly tell,
As nobody was near enough to heat it very well.

But this I’ve learned: old Santa Claus that very Christmas took
That poor, benighted little child a most enchanting book,
And now she knows old Mother Goose—her children great and small,
And, as good little folks should do, she dearly loves them all!
