On the Twelfth Day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a’leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a’milking
Seven swans a’swimming
Six geese a’laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree!
[…] on the ninth night, and the “four calling birds” on the fourth eve) . Go now and enjoy this last burst of holiday cheer! A Happy Twelfth Night to you […]
