A CHRISTMAS CHIME
lam a bell, a •/ Christmas bell, and when that Hay is here, with joy do I begin to swell: my voice gets loud and clear. I can’t keep still because I feel that Christmas feel, you know, and so with laughter do I peal, and thrill from top to toe. I vibrate with pulsations keen from early morn till night and not a thought that’s low or mean can wing its crooked flight through air that’s penetrated by the sounds of my rich voice. And that is just one reason why on Christmas you rejoice, and feel so good toward everyone : because, you see, just when your petty troubles have begun to pierce your mortal ken, my voice comes ringing through your ears. ‘ Heigho ! it’s Christmas time,’ you say. ‘Away all doubts and fears!’ I keep your hearts in chime. And so, let Christmas reign o’er all, and with your hearts quite free, come, gather near my silver call and have a chime with me !
