Shiny leaves and berries red
Bringing season’s cheer
Festive in a Christmas wreath
At this time of the year
Deepest green and berries white
Meaning love is pure
Stand beneath a pretty sprig
And get a kiss for sure!
The holly and the mistletoe
Both joyous to behold
Amid the winter dark and drear
Still growing, bright and bold
