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 the 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 tinkling of the bells."

~The Bells, Part I, by Edgar Allen Poe
