' Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house.
' Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house ' And I in my kerchief, and my cap ' And laying his finger aside of his nose ' And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof ' As I drew in my head, and was turning around ' Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound! ' Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! ' Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! ' To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! ' When what to my wondering eyes should appear ' With a little old driver, so lively and quick ' He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle ' He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work ' But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight ' He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot ' And his eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! |
