A Dish of Apples - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham - Eden Phillpotts
The Wassailing
I
OLD Christmas Eve’s the proper night
For wassailing the apple-trees;
And though the snow came to their knees,
Our fore-fathers done what was right,
Poured out their cider, sang their song
And fired their guns the boughs among,
With Ned and Fred and Jeremy,
And Jonah Moss and Billy Blee,
And gran’fer Budd, up home four score,
And Sammy Meek, back from the war.
II
The girls their cider pitchers bring,
With liquor steaming on the air
And toast and spices floating there.
Then come a score of boys to sing,
And at the gate, awaiting us,
Jan Bassett with his blunderbus,
And Lil and Jill and Minnie West,
Jane Mortimer and Henry Best,
And Benny Tutt and Saul
