“SUB JOVE FRIGIDO.’
Merrily the sleigh-bells jingle
Through the frosty air,—
Uphill, downhill, past the lair
Where the merry brownies mingle.
How the red cheeks tingle, tingle!
How the hostlers swear!
Merrily the sleigh-bells jingle
Through the frosty air.
Through the frosty air,—
Uphill, downhill, past the lair
Where the merry brownies mingle.
How the red cheeks tingle, tingle!
How the hostlers swear!
Merrily the sleigh-bells jingle
Through the frosty air.
But for me the roaring ingle,
Dozing warm and cosy there,
Tipping in the easy-chair,
While far down the snow-clad dingle
Merrily the sleigh-bells jingle
Through the frosty air.
Dozing warm and cosy there,
Tipping in the easy-chair,
While far down the snow-clad dingle
Merrily the sleigh-bells jingle
Through the frosty air.
