• "Christmas Bells" Excerpt

  • I heard the bells on Christmas Day
  • Their old, familiar carols play,
  • And wild and sweet
  • The words repeat
  • Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
  • And in despair I bowed my head;
  • "There is no peace on earth," I said;
  • "For hate is strong,
  • And mocks the song
  • Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
  • Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
  • "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
  • The Wrong shall fail,
  • The Right prevail,
  • With peace on earth, good-will to men."The Academy of American Poets: "Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
