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 tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Now that it's done, maybe we can FINALLY get down to some REAL news (e.g. Wacko Jacko's trial).

"To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

Thank you, I love Poe.

One of my favorite poems. Always mesmerized me. Poe was underrated as a poet, everyone likes to dwell on his creepy stories. But his poems are magnificent.
