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.
The Bells

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, it was new to me and now it is one of my favorites also. Thank you :) This should have been my word of the day as I have never heard it before:
Deletetin·tin·nab·u·la·tion
/ˌtin(t)əˌnabyəˈlāSH(ə)n/
noun
a ringing or tinkling sound.
"the tiny tintinnabulation, faint as fairy bells" :)))
Very cool photos, Denise. For some reason, blue speaks to me at Christmas. There is a house down the street with just blue lights, and it looks so pretty when I drive by.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, friend. I'm glad to have met you in blog land this year. Your posts are delightful.

I am so glad I met you also and consider you a friend. Blogland is a whole big family and I love it for the dear people I have met, such as yourself. And I feel the same way about your blog too :) Merry Christmas and A Very Happy New Year!
