The stillness of the night
All is very quiet
Above the layer of snow
The moon shines softly bright
The children wait to see
What may be beneath the tree
I hear the jingle of the bells
Though I listen close I cannot tell
Is it a horse-drawn sleigh?
Or could Santa be on his way?
This is for parents to know
As off to bed the children go
In the morn all shall see
For tonight, tonight is Christmas Eve
