Christmas day in the workhouse

A very lovely poem of Christmas day in the workhouse, really very good poem

It is Christmas Day in the Workhouse,
And the cold bare walls are bright
With garlands of green and holly,
And the place is a pleasant sight:
For with clear-washed hands and faces
In a long and hungry line
The paupers sit at the tables,
For this is the hour they dine.

The poem is long I have wrote very little for full poem please visit:
