Description:
Holiday greeting card from Pearl Adair Winchester, Christmas 1956. Print with thin red border. 1 of 2 copies. Contains a poem by Steuart Wilson: In every town and village The bells do ring, O'er woods and grass and tillage, Hey ding a ding, Ringing for joy to start the week again, And call all Christian men To pray and praise and sing. Then pull your ropes with vigour, and watch your ways To thread with strictest rigour The noise maze; Keep in your heart the fire of youth alight, That he who rings aright May ring in happy days. And we who hear the bells ring With all their might, As they do say the angels sing Both day and night, Praise we the men who built our belfries high That music from the sky Might sound for our delight.
