The Farmer’s Invitation
"The Farmer's Invitation" is a spirited Christmas poem written in the Dorset dialect, where a farmer urges a friend to bring his fiddle and come celebrate the holiday. Neighbors from nearby villages will gather around a roaring fire built from three great logs, sharing songs, tales, and cups of ale through the night. There is even the promise of a rosy-faced, dark-eyed guest whose identity the farmer cheekily declines to name — adding a note of playful anticipation to the evening's warmth.
