Sleighing Sons.
Air—'Somebody.'
How swift we
Thro' the sparkling snow,
In the moonbeam's silver glance,
And our glad songs swell,
While the jingling bells
Keep time with our proud steeds' prance!
And the hollow glen,
Sends back again,
Our laugh and glad holloo;
While the diamond spray
Flies every way,
And the moonlight flashes through.
'Tis cold tonight,
But these eyes so bright,
A glow on the young heart shed,
And these lips that move
To the tones of love,
With the smile of pleasure spread;
Then onward speed.
While the snorting steed
Shakes the spangles from his mane,
We'll join in the light
Of the elves of night,
And love and delight shall reign.
