InscribedPrinted in black on inside: "I'm living in an attic / In Paris near the Seine / A year has past unnoticed / It's Christmas time again / And from my slanting window / I'm sending thoughts today / To all those friends who love me / Goodwill speeds on it way / Red holly fills my window / A stocking warms my stove / The dawn is in the roof tops / God's sky's a rosy mauve / I'm living in an attic / In Paris near the Seine / The ones I love are near me / Noel is here again"Handwritten in black ink on inside beneath poem: "Caroline Parker Smith"
