Christmas Poetry

Christmas Bells

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,

Of Peace on earth, good-willl to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
‘God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!

With peace on earth, good-will to men!’

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
