模块6 Unit 18 Beauty Lesson 3 Poetry学案（无答案）

The night before Christmas
It was the night before Christmas, oval: round
And all through the house,
Nothing was moving,
Not even a mouse.
The stockings had been hung
With attention and care
In the hope that Santa
Soon would be there.
The children were sleeping
Safe in their beds,
While vague dreams of presents vague: not clear
Danced in their heads. jerk: sudden
movement
My wife, wearing a scarf,
And I, wearing a cap,
Had just settled ourselves
For a long winter nap.
And then, in an instant,
I heard on the roof
The stepping and scratching scratch: rub
Of each little hoof. hoof: foot of a deer thistle: flower
As I pulled in my head,
And was turning around,
Down came stout Santa stout: fat and short
In a single bound. bound: jump
