Слайд 15Christmas Stocking
by Eleanor Farjeon
What will go into the Christmas Stocking
While
the clock on the mantelpiece goes tick-tocking?
An orange, a penny,
Some sweets, not too many,
A trumpet, a dolly,
A sprig of green holly,
A book and a top,
And a grocery shop,
Some beads in a box,
An ass and an ox,
And a lamb, plain and good,
All whittled in wood,
A white sugar dove,
A handful of love,
Another of fun,
And it's very near done,
A big silver star
On top - there you are.
Come morning you'll wake to the clock's tick-tocking
And that's what you'll find in the Christmas Stocking.
