Luyện nghe bài hát 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night Christmas
all through the house
Not a was stirring
not even a

The stockings were
by the with care
In hopes St Nicholas
would be there

The children nestled
all snug in their
While visions of sugar-plums in their heads

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

out on the lawn
there arose a clatter
I from the bed
to see what was the

Away to the
I like a flash
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 should appear
But a miniature
and eight reindeer

a little old driver, so lively and quick
I in a moment
it must be St

More than eagles
his coursers they
And he whistled, and
and called 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 dash away! Dash away! Dash all!"

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

So up to the
the coursers they
the sleigh full of Toys
and St too

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

As I drew in my
and was turning
the chimney St Nicholas
came a bound

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

A bundle of
he had flung on his
And he looked like a
just his pack

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

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

The of a pipe
he held in his teeth
And the smoke it
his like a wreath

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

He was and plump
a right old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in of myself!

A of his eye
and a of his head
Soon gave me to
I had nothing to

He not a word
but straight to his work
And filled all the
then turned a jerk

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

He sprang to his
to his team gave a
And away all flew
like the of a thistle

But I heard him
he drove out of sight
"Happy to all
and to all a good-night!"
