Mystery
Why do we get treed up like this
in the ancient Christmas trappings?
compose the same old synthesis
and rustle the wrappings?
Ah gently, gently rig the wreath,
and gently tie the string,
for what is resting underneath
is a delicate thing.
Under the melody, under the rose,
under the glowing tree,
we cover. discover (how, who knows?)
mystery.
