Classic Poem

Canadian Sleigh Song

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Merrily, merrily, O,
Chime the tuneful sleigh bells,
Singing to the snow;
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Merrily, merrily, O,
Laughs the dimpled Maiden,
Chatting to her beau.

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Merrily, merrily, O,
What is glorious Winter
Without frost and snow?
Time may cast a shadow
O'er us as we go,
But let us, like the sleigh bells,
Sing, Merrily, Merrily, O.

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Merrily, Merrily, O,
Life is but a sleigh-drive
Through the frost and snow;
Ever are we learning
This one truth as we go:
All sadness without sunlight
Is like Winter without snow.English
