• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here the sledges with the bells, silver bells, What a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: world of merriment their melody foretells, How they tinkle, tinkle,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: tankle in the icy air of night, while the stars
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that oversprinkle all the heavens seem to twinkle with a
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: crystalline delight, keeping time time, time, in a sort of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: runic rhyme, to the tintinabulation that so musically wells from
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, From the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: jingling and the tinkling of the bells here the mellow
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: wedding bells, golden bells, What a world of happiness their
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: harmony foretells through the balmy air of night, how they
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ring out their delight from the molten golden notes and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: all in tune. What a liquid diddy floats to the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: turtle dove that listens while she gloats of the moon. Oh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: from out the sounding cells, what a gush of euphony
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: voluminously wells, How it swells, how it dwells on the future,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: How it tells of the rapture that impels to the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: swinging and the bringing of the bells, bells, bells of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. To the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: rhyming and the chiming of the bells here the loud
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: alarum bells, brazen bells, What tale of terror? Now their
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: turbulency tells in the startled ear of night, how they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: scream out there, affright, too much horrified to speak, they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: can only shriek, shriek out of tune, in a clamorous
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: appealing to the mercy of the fire, in a mad expostulation,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: with the deaf and frantic fire, leaping higher, higher, higher,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with a desperate desire and a resolute endeavor. Now now
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to sit or never by the side of the pale
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells, What a tale
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: their terror tells of despair? How they clang and clash
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and roar, What a horror they out pour on the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: bosom of the palpitating air. Yet the ear, it fully knows,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: by the twanging and the clanging, how the danger ebbs
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and flows. Yet the ear distinctly tells in the jangling
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and the wrangling, how the danger sinks or swells. By
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bells of the bells of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and the clamor and the clangor of the bells. Hear
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the tolling of the bells, iron bells, Why the world
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of solemn thought, their monody compels in the silence of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the night. How we shiver with affright at the melancholy
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: meaning of their tone. For every sound that floats from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the brust within their throats is a groan. And the people, ah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the people, they that dwell up in the steeple, all alone,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and who tolling, tolling, tolling in that muffled monotone, feel
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a glory in so rolling on the human heart a stone.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: They are neither man nor woman. They are neither brute
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: nor human. They are ghouls. And their king it is
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: who tolls, and he rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls. A
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: paean from the bells, and his merry bosom swells with
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the pean of the bells, and he dances and he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: yells keeping time time, same time, and a sort of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: runic rhyme to the paean of the bells of the bells,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: keeping time, time, time, and a sort of runic rhyme,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to the throbbing of the bells of the bells, bells, bells,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to the sobbing of the bells, keeping time, time, time,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: as he knells, knells, knells in a happy runic rhyme.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: To the rolling of the bells to the tolling of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the bells of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to the moaning and the groaning of the bells
