'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house |
| [00:09.98] |
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; |
| [00:13.38] |
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care |
| [00:16.61] |
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; |
| [00:19.96] |
The children were nestled all snug in their beds |
| [00:23.19] |
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; |
| [00:26.70] |
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap |
| [00:29.84] |
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap |
| [00:33.18] |
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter |
| [00:35.43] |
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter |
| [00:39.10] |
Away to the window I flew like a flash |
| [00:41.76] |
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash |
| [00:44.67] |
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow |
| [00:47.74] |
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below |
| [00:51.20] |
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear |
| [00:53.22] |
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer |
| [00:58.16] |
With a little old driver, so lively and quick |
| [01:01.56] |
Well, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick |
| [01:04.80] |
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came |
| [01:07.92] |
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; |
| [01:10.84] |
"On, Dasher! On, Dancer! On, Prancer and Vixen! |
| [01:14.50] |
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen! |
| [01:18.53] |
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! |
| [01:22.38] |
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" |
| [01:26.64] |
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly |
| [01:30.53] |
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; |
| [01:33.37] |
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew |
| [01:36.38] |
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too |
| [01:39.43] |
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof |
| [01:43.14] |
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof |
| [01:45.90] |
As I drew in my head, and was turning around |
| [01:48.88] |
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound |
| [01:52.81] |
He was dressed all in furs, from his head to his foot |
| [01:56.80] |
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; |
| [01:59.00] |
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back |
| [02:02.18] |
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack |
| [02:05.97] |
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! |
| [02:09.44] |
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! |
| [02:12.91] |
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a bow |
| [02:16.16] |
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; |
| [02:19.71] |
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth |
| [02:22.95] |
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; |
| [02:26.53] |
He had a broad face and a little round belly |
| [02:29.91] |
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly (Ho ho ho) |
| [02:35.20] |
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf |
| [02:39.38] |
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; |
| [02:43.69] |
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head |
| [02:47.85] |
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; |
| [02:52.25] |
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work |
| [02:55.47] |
And he filled all the stockings; and then turned with a jerk |
| [02:58.98] |
And laying his finger aside of his nose |
| [03:02.29] |
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; |
| [03:05.52] |
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle |
| [03:08.85] |
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle |
| [03:11.89] |
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight |
| [03:15.45] |
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all, good-night, good-night." |
