"Lucy And Tumnus"
There came a child without a sound
Toward the light she made her way
The light that turned the night to day.
Strange she thought it standing there
A lamppost in a wood laid bare
It's light was shining ever bright
Into the still and snowy night
And then behind her came a sound
Footsteps crunching on the ground
She turned to see a stranger sight
Then any she had seen that night
Before her stood a goaty man
With an umbrella in his hand
The packages under his arm
Gave the scene a Christmas charm
Strangers they were but not for long
And so he begged her
"Come along!
Would you like to come for tea?
Not often do strangers come to me"
And so her lured her to his cave
Of toast and sardines he did rave
But when the tea was done and gone
He then began to play a song
The song he played upon a flute
And the notes began to suit
The dreams that put the girl to sleep
Of fauns and dwarves and mountains steep
When the music stopped at last
She woke to find much time had passed
The Faun sat there and cried and cried
He told her now how he had lied
"There is a Witch," he said to her
"Who's covered to her throat in fur
And drives about inside a sled
And wears a crown upon her head."
She was the one who made the snow
And came to him to let him know
That if he saw a human child
He was to bring it from the wild
And take it to his quiet home
Or else she would turn him to stone
"I was supposed to turn you in
But now I know it would be a sin."
For he had liked her more and more
Since she had stepped in through his door
So faun and girl ran quickly back
Their pace and step they did not slack
Until they reached the shining lamp
That put some warmth into the damp
Once they both had said farwell
The girl made haste to go and tell
Of her adventure in the wood
And of the lamp that shone it's light
Whether it be day or night
