“The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that overs sprinkle
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.
