I |
|||
Hear the sledges with the bells - |
|||
Silver bells! |
|||
What a world of merriment their melody foretells! |
|||
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, |
|||
In the icy air of night! |
|||
While the stars that oversprinkle |
|||
All the heavens, seem to twinkle |
|||
With a crystalline delight; |
|||
Keeping time, time, time, |
|||
In a sort of Runic rhyme, |
|||
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells |
|||
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, |
|||
Bells, bells, bells - |
|||
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. |
