SHORE GIFTS In the rural regions of Italy, shepherds come down from their hills, and go from door to door singing tarols. Where they are welcomed they leave a wooden spoon, an for .their songs they are rewarded with holiday treats and coins. They sing. carols at all carpenter shops in honor of Joseph, the carpenter. Sometimes their songs are accom- pahied by the concertina and the mandolin; some- times bagpipes are played as they sing Canzone di Zampognari (Carols -of the Bagpipes). Far, far away at first, then coming near, They sing of him whose presence casts out fear. Down: from the hills.they come. to play their song. Play, shepherds, play for us the whole day long.
