Under the Holly Bough

•Ye who Jmve scorned each other. Or injured friend or brother. In this fast fading year; ’ Ye who, by word or deed, Have made a kind-heart bleed. Come gather here! ‘Let sinned against and sinning Forget their strife’s beginning, And join in friendship now.. Be links no longer broken, Be sweet forgiveness spoken Under the holly-bough. •‘Ye who have loved each other. Sister and friend and brother. In this fast fading year; Mtfther and sire and child, Young man and maiden mild, Come gather here; •And let your heart grow fonder, As memory shall ponder Each past vow; Old loveS and younger wooing Are sweet in their renewing Under the holly-bough.” —Charles Mackay.
