Poem/Christmas Tree

["Clevie H. Wingate" <cwingate@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

Can anyone tell me the author of this poem?

                Christmas Tree

        I'll find me a spruce
        in the cold white wood
        with wide green limbs
        and a snowy hood.

        I'll pin on a star
        with five silver spurs
        to mark my spruce
        from the pines and firs.

        I'll make me a bundle
        of shiny gold balls
        to tie to my spruce
        when the cold dusk falls,

        And I'll hear songs
        from the sheltering trees,
        the Christmas carols
        that the childrenn sing.

I have exhausted our library sources and have probably just
missed it.  Thank you for your help.

Happy holidays to everyone on LM_NET!
