Hear the sledges with the bells-
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their merriment foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of runic rhyme....

Edgar Allen Poe
