'Twas the prior night Christmas, when all through the house
Not an animal was mixing, not even a mouse;
The leggings were hung by the smokestack with consideration,
With the expectation that St. Nicholas soon would arrive;
The kids were settled all cozy in their beds,
While dreams of sugar-plums moved in their heads;
What's more, mamma in her 'handkerchief, and I in my top,
Had quite recently settled down for a long winter's rest,
At the point when out on the garden there emerged such a bang,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a glimmer,
Tore open the screens and hurled the band.
The moon on the bosom of the new-fallen snow
Gave the shine of early afternoon to protests underneath,
At the point when, what to my pondering eyes ought to show up,
Be that as it may, a smaller than normal sleigh, and eight minor reindeer,
With somewhat old driver, so enthusiastic and speedy,
I knew in a minute it must be St. Scratch.
More quick than falcons his coursers they came,
What's more, he shrieked, and yelled, and called them by name;
"Presently, Dasher! Presently, Dancer! Presently, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!
To the highest point of the yard! to the highest point of the divider!
Presently dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild tropical storm fly,
When they meet with a snag, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-beat the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh brimming with toys, and St. Nicholas as well.
And after that, in a twinkling, I heard on the rooftop
The dancing and pawing of every little foot.
As I attracted my hand, and was pivoting,
Down the fireplace St. Nicholas accompanied a bound.
He was dressed all in hide, from his head to his foot,
Furthermore, his garments were all discolored with cinders and ash;
A heap of toys he had flung on his back,
Furthermore, he resembled a merchant simply opening his pack.
His eyes - how they twinkled! his dimples how happy!
His cheeks were similar to roses, his nose like a cherry!
His whimsical little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
Furthermore, the facial hair of his jaw was as white as the snow;
The stump of a funnel he held tight in his teeth,
Furthermore, the smoke it enclosed his head like a wreath;
He had an expansive face and somewhat round stomach,
That shook, when he giggled like a bowlful of jam.
He was tubby and stout, a right happy old mythical being,
Also, I snickered when I saw him, regardless of myself;
A wink of his eye and a touch of his head,
Before long offered me to know I had nothing to fear;
He talked not a word, but rather went straight to his work,
What's more, filled every one of the tights; then turned with a rascal,
What's more, laying his finger aside of his nose,
Furthermore, giving a gesture, up the fireplace he climbed;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his group gave a shriek,
Furthermore, away they all flew like the down of a thorn.
In any case, I heard him shout, ere he drove outside of anyone's ability to see,
"Glad Christmas to all, and to every one of the a goodbye."
