Emile Pinet Poet Lyric

Hear Them Ringing

Christmas bells, can you hear them ringing?
All night long: carolers singing.
A magical night,
your eyes shut tight
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

Penciled out: is the last day.
So tonight: is the right night.
And sleep seeds dreams,
with sugarplum themes,
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

In the morning, we can open presents,
sharing smiles as they get passed around.
I'll ask, is one for me?
You'll say: yes, more than one:
but you must wait till Christmas morning.
So calm down, 
dream of things you desire:
hang your socks by the fire.
Leave Santa a snack
then go hit the sack,
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

In the morning, we can open presents,
sharing a smile that's passed around,
And we'll attend all the festive events,
at least the ones within our town.

On this eve, nerves are tingling.
Can you feel them?
In the air, bells are jingling.
A magical night,
your eyes shut tight
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

Malabika Ray Choudhury December 24, 2021 at 2:46 PM Enchanting lyrics, Emile - like a dreamland! Love all the lines, and the magical refrain. To my faves ~ Mala Emile Pinet December 25, 2021 at 8:53 AM Thanks, Malabika, I appreciate it, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend, Emile.

L Milton Hankins December 8, 2021 at 7:35 PM Funny, Emile, I read the first line and then started singing the rest, so I knew it was the "Winter Wonderland" tune. It comes from playing it a zillion times on the organ! Got my books today, and I have already started reading them, from the earliest one, I presume. Made my whole day. Your lyrics, btw, are a delight! L Milton Hankins December 9, 2021 at 9:15 AM I've already started "A Match in the Dark." I'm simply amazed at your prolific poetry production! Really enjoying it. The series looks so beautiful on my living room shelf, too. I'm planning to pass on my paperback copy of "Emotional Entanglements" to a friend who appreciates poetry at Christmas. Thanks so much. The folks at Hospice were pleased, too. Emile Pinet December 9, 2021 at 7:07 AM Thanks, Milt, I hope you enjoy reading my books, my friend, Emile.
