We have heard the children say -- Gentle children , whom we love -- Long ago , on Christmas Day , Came a message from above . Still , as Christmas-tide comes round , They remember it again -- Echo still the joyful sound `` Peace on earth , good-will to men ! '' Yet the hearts must childlike be Where such heavenly guests abide : Unto children , in their glee , All the year is Christmas-tide ! Thus , forgetting tricks and play For a moment , Lady dear , We would wish you , if we may , Merry Christmas , glad New Year ! LEWIS CARROLL . Christmas , 1867 . * * * * * WORKS BY LEWIS CARROLL .
