Carol Contemplation: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

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 thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head

    Where did you take that picture? Is that New Zealand? ‘Cause I am amost persuaded to go and buy that cafe and live among elves and halflings and not mortal men.
    Maybe Lucy could be more easily persuaded to putout a CD and then we could all dance on the tabletops.

  2. If I’ve ever heard all the verses of this carol, I have no remembrance of it. This may be my new most favoritest carol.
