    Penny's Poetry Blog's poem for Boxing Day:
    Christmas 1860, by Aubrey de Vere

    Alone, among thy books, once more I sit;
    No sound there stirs except the flapping fire;
    Strange shadows of old times about me flit
    As sinks the midnight lamp or flickers higher
    [...]

    Agreed, and happy holidays to you and George Dance.
