The child wonders at the Christmas Tree:
Let him continue in the spirit of wonder 
At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext; 
So that the glittering rapture, the amazement 
Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree,

Calloused fingers caressing a haggard face
She wonders what the men intend
As she offers a bite to eat
"Yo me la remendé,
Yo me eché un remiendo,"
