The Bells

by Edgar Allan Poe 

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 tintinabulation that so

musically wells

From the bells, bells, bells, bells,

        Bells, bells, bells- of the bells.

   From the jingling and tinkling

of the bells.
