| Comments: | A very poor and desperate boy had never gotten a Christmas present. So he writes on his broken slate a prayer to Father Christmas for something, anything. What he finally receives is freedom from his oppression when an angel takes him to heaven. This is a beautiful, Old Victorian song that I heard The New Swingle Singers perform live. Ward Swingle was kind enough to give me the lead sheet which I used for the song's arrangement. |
