Luyện nghe bài hát 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night Christmas
when all through the
Not a creature was
not a mouse

The stockings hung
by the with care
In that St Nicholas
soon would be

The children were
all in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their

And mamma in her
and I in my cap
Had just settled our
for a winter's nap

When out on the
there arose a clatter
I sprang the bed
to see was the matter

Away to the
I flew like a
open the shutters
and threw up the

The moon on the
of the new-fallen
the lustre of mid-day
to below

When, to my
wondering eyes should
But a sleigh
and eight tinny

With a old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a
it be St Nick

More than eagles
his coursers came
And he whistled, and
and them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer!
now, and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
on, on and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch!
to the top of the wall!
Now away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that
the wild fly
When meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky

So up to the
the coursers flew
With the sleigh of Toys
and St too

And then, in a
I on the roof
The and pawing
of little hoof

As I in my head
and was turning
Down the St Nicholas
came a bound

He was all in fur
from his to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and

A bundle of
he had on his back
And he looked like a
opening his pack

His eyes-how twinkled!
his how merry!
His cheeks like roses
his like a cherry!

His droll little
was drawn up a bow
And the of his chin
was as white as the

The stump of a
he held tight in his
And the it encircled
his head like a

He had a broad
and a little belly
That shook he laughed
a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and
a jolly old elf
And I when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A of his eye
and a twist of his
gave me to know
I had to dread

He not a word
but went to his work
And filled all the
then turned with a

And his finger
of his nose
And a nod
up the he rose!

He to his sleigh
to his team a whistle
And away all flew
like the down of a

But I him exclaim
'ere he drove out of
"Happy to all
and to all a good-night!"
