The Picture

"The Picture" by Mary Mapes Dodge captures a glittering Christmas night scene where a young girl dressed in velvets and pearls and a boy in jeweled finery dance together with rosy cheeks and light hearts. Their noble bearing hints at proud lineages, yet their names and story matter little — what shines is the timeless joy of children dancing by the fireside. The poem closes by drawing that same warmth into every home, grand or humble, where children celebrate Christmas night.
