Longfellow: I heard the bells on Christmas Day

By Ann Kroeker / December 23, 2016

I heard the bells on Christmas Day (Longfellow)

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!
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
