    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 tingling of the bells.

And the Sabbath bell,
That over wood and wild and mountain dell
Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy
With sounds most musical, most melancholy.

Ring out, will bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light.

And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That sucked the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason
Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh,
That unmatched form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy.

While the steeples are loud in their joy,
To the tune of the bells' ring-a-ding,
Let us read more

While the steeples are loud in their joy,
To the tune of the bells' ring-a-ding,
Let us chime in a peal, one and all,
For we all should be able to sing Hullah baloo.

Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells
When on the undulating air they swim!

That all-softening, overpowering knell,
The tocsin of the soul--the dinner bell.

The old mayor climbed the belfry tower,
The ringers ran by two, by three;
"Pull, if ye never pulled before;
Good ringers, pull your best," quoth he.
"Play uppe, play uppe, O Boston bells!
Ply all your changes, all your swells,
Play uppe The Brides of Enderby."
