I HEARD THE BELLS
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
THEIR OLD,
FAMILIAR CAROLS PLAY,
AND WILD AND SWEET
THE WORDS REPEAT
OF PEACE ON EARTH,
GOOD WILL TO MEN.
TILL RINGING, SINGING
ON ITS WAY,
THE WORLD REVOLVED
FROM NIGHT TO DAY,
A VOICE, A CHIME,
A CHANT SUBLIME,
OF PEACE ON EARTH,
GOOD WILL TO MEN.
                           LONGFELLOW
