Here begins the deeds of Rudolph, Tundra-Wanderer<\/strong><\/p>\nLo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer \u2013
\nThat beast didn\u2019t have unshiny nostrils!
\nThe goodly nose-cartilage glittered and glowed.
\nThe hoof-bearers taunted him with proud words;
\nThe comrades wouldn\u2019t allow wretched Hrodulf
\nTo join the reindeer games.
\nThen, on Christmas Eve bound in storms
\nSanta Claus remembered that, spoke formally to him:
\n\u201cDear night-sighted friend, nose-bright one!
\nYou, Hrodulf, shall lead my adorned rapid-wagon!\u201d
\nThen the sky-flyers praised their lead-deer \u2013
\nThere was gladness and music; one of the horned ones sang
\n\u201cLo, Hrodulf the red-nosed reindeer,
\nYour fame spreads broadly, you are renowned!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
