Christmas Bells
           by Henry Wadsworth 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!

          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!

          Till, ringing, singing on its way,
          The world revolved1 from night to day,
          A voice, a chime
          A chant sublime2
          Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

          Then from each black accursed mouth
          The cannon3 thundered in the South,
          And with the sound
          The carols drowned
          Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

          It was as if an earthquake rent
          The hearth-stones of a continent,
          And made forlorn
          The households born
          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 pealed4 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!"
