Welcome to another holiday edition of Poetry Friday. Today I've got one of my favorite Christmas Carols to share with you:
Carol of the Bells
Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air
Oh how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Dong ding dong ding
And since reading the words are only part of the fun, here's a video too. There are many, many variations of this song, but this particular version is one of my favorites:
Very interesting and pretty adaptation! Carol of The Bells is my favorite choral Christmas song.

When reading the words I couldn't hear the tune in my head, but watching the video helped ! You're right, this song's great.
