A Christmas Carol Annotated

I hear along our street
&nbsp Pass the minstrel throngs;
&nbsp Hark! they play so sweet,
On their hautboys, Christmas songs!
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!

&nbsp In December ring
&nbsp Every day the chimes;
&nbsp Loud the gleemen sing
In the streets their merry rhymes.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire.

&nbsp Shepherds at the grange,
&nbsp Where the Babe was born,
&nbsp Sang, with many a change,
Christmas carols until morn.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!

&nbsp These good people sang
&nbsp Songs devout and sweet;
&nbsp While the rafters rang,
There they stood with freezing feet.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire.

&nbsp Nuns in frigid veils
&nbsp At this holy tide,
&nbsp For want of something else,
Christmas songs at times have tried.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them fill the night expire!

&nbsp Washerwomen old,
&nbsp To the sound they beat,
&nbsp Sing by rivers cold,
With uncovered heads and feet.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire.

&nbsp Who by the fireside stands
&nbsp Stamps his feet and sings;
&nbsp But he who blows his hands
Not so gay a carol brings.
&nbsp Let us by the fire
&nbsp Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
