Hear the sledges with the bellsвБ†вАФ + 

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, bellsвБ†вАФ + 

From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. + 
