Like Edgar Allen Poe wrote -
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 tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
Wowzers! Anyway, this one is rather scarce for bell collectors, gifts, or for Christmas Tree decorations! You and all your family will enjoy the jingling and the tinkling of the bells!
