Cheese Bells
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
Doors of The Cheese Shop remain undone
But rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till cheese and charcuterie on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A honey, a wine,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each frowning, cheese-less mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The olives drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;
‘For The Cheese Shop won’t open,
Till after Year-end’
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
‘Your Cheese Monger is not lost; nor doth he sleep!
The Cheese Shop will open after the first,
And quench will we your artisan thirst
With peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Please enjoy our rendition of this classic Christmas poem. The original version was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1864

Holiday Wishes From The Cheese Shop On Park
T’was Right Before Christmas…
And all thru The Cheese Shop
We’re hurrying and scurrying almost till we drop.
The finishing touches we’re applying with glee,
To bring you hand cut Wensleydale, Gruyere and Brie.
We’ve papered the windows to avert curious eyes,
For when the door opens there’ll be such a surprise!
Heartfelt thanks to all for your encouraging cheer,
The Cheese Shop On Park’s opening day is near.
Happy Holidays,
