The Wonderful Fairies of the Sun.

She visits rooms of little girls,
And hunts around to see
If she’d better order another doll
To hang on the Christmas-tree.
She rummages through the bureau drawers,
The closets, and everywhere,
To see what things like gloves and lace,
Or trinkets, are needed there.

That Santa Claus has spies
Who watch you all, throughout the year,
With sharp, all-seeing eyes;
And if you’re naughty, those who drive
The snowflakes and the mice
Will simply peep inside your room
And scoot off in a trice!
