CANADIAN SLEIGH SONG.

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
     Merrily, merrily, O,
Chime the tuneful sleigh bells,
     Singing to the snow;
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

     Merrily, merrily, O,
Laughs the dimpled Maiden,
     Chatting to her beau. [Page 118]

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
     Merrily, merrily, O,

What is glorious Winter
     Without frost and snow?
Time may cast a shadow
     O’er us as we go,
But let us, like the sleigh bells,

     Sing, Merrily, Merrily, O.

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
     Merrily, Merrily, O,
Life is but a sleigh-drive
     Through the frost and snow;

Ever are we learning
     This one truth as we go:
All sadness without sunlight
     Is like Winter without snow. [Page 119]
