ear the sledges with the bells--Silver bells!What a world of merriment their melody foretells!How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,In their icy air of night!While the stars, that oversprinkleAll the heavens, seem to twinkleWith a crystalline delight;Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsFrom the bells, bells, bells, bells,Bells, bells, bells--From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
