The Bell

The poem describes the sounds of sleigh bells on a winter night. The bells ring out with a "tintinnabulation" that echoes melodically over the snowy landscape. Their cheerful ringing seems to foretell the merriment of the season and causes the stars in the icy night sky to twinkle in delight while keeping perfect time.

The Bell The Bell

By Edgar Allan Poe By Edgar Allan Poe


Hear the sledges with the bells Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells! Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.

In the icy air of night! In the icy air of night!


While the stars that over sprinkle While the stars that over sprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle All the heavens seem to twinkle
With the crystalline delight; With the crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time, Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme, In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, in bells- Bells, bells, in bells-
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
The Sea The Sea
Why does the sea laugh, Mother, Why does the sea laugh, Mother,
As it glints beneath the sun? As it glints beneath the sun?
It is thinking of the joys my child, It is thinking of the joys my child,
That it wishes everyone. That it wishes everyone.
Why does the sea sob so, Mother, Why does the sea sob so, Mother,
As it breaks on the rocky shore? As it breaks on the rocky shore?
It recalls the sorrow of the world It recalls the sorrow of the world
And weeps forevermore. And weeps forevermore.
Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother, Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother,
As if it were fast asleep? As if it were fast asleep?
It would give our tired hearts, dearest child, It would give our tired hearts, dearest child,
The comforts of the deep. The comforts of the deep.
