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.” WorldWellsSeemsNightHeavenStarsAirDelightSilverMelodyBellsRhymeIcyMerrimentBells RingingSilver Bells Author:Edgar Allan Poe
