It is Christmas Day in the workhouse, And the cold, bare walls are bright. With garlands of green and holly, Ad the place is a pleasant sight; For with clean-washed hands and faces, In a long and hungry line. The paupers sit at the table, For this is the hour they dine. And the guardians and their ladies,. This is the correct title for the monologue / poem better known as 'It was Christmas Day in the Workhouse' published in 1879 by George Robert Sims (1847-1922). It is a powerful indictment of the conditions of the Victorian workhouse. Sims is a fascinating figure who began by writing humorous verse and ended up as a voice for social reform.
