And in the night came a mingled feeling—Real yet dream-likeover me stealing ,
, Past with present blending quaintly , Thought of cliild and legend saintly .
Ding dong ! ding dong ! through briary dingle , O ' er plain , through valley , seemed to mingle
With the pealing bells !— " ding dong , ding dong !" " Peace , and good will , " the angels' song .
Then entering by the oaken door , While organ sounds sublime out-pour ,
We join in words of supplication , With love devout and adoration !
Such memories thou bringest—thou Bearing red berries about thy brow !
Old friend , old Christmas ! be welcome still ,
With thy " Peace on earth ! " and " To man good will !"
