The Sound of Christmas Bells
The Best of Holiday Poetry
I hear the ringing of Christmas bells
amid the singing of an immortal noel,
of stockings and holly
surrounding a plump saint who is so jolly.
Through it all though, I can still tell
the merry ring of the Christmas Bells.
I hear the cheerful laughter of playful children
and the clattering hooves on the roof of eight tiny rein deer.
I hear the confident words of Grandma and Grandpa,
telling tales of timeless lore, causing kids to gasp in awe.
I hear the wrapping of cherished gifts
amid a feeling of joy that uplifts
even the most tearful of eyes
with their hearts' most longing surprise.
Oh, fail not in listening to my words well,
my dearest ones,
I hear the singing of Christmas bells!
I behold the brilliant spectrum of a Christmas tree,
spreading the good cheer by causing the people to gaze forward in glee.
Oh do please listen to my words' telling of this vision now....
I behold a manger among the goats, the cow, and the camel,
and the joy of a certain sweet babe inside doth tell
the pleasure of those chiming Christmas bells!
I see the brilliant Christmas star
beckoning us all in from the distance so far.
So thus my dear children,
strive always to do well,
for 'tis on this day I hear the hexing rime of yuletide bells!
