<\/a><\/p>\nEcco il testo di: The Night Before Christmas Song<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
\nThe stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
\nIn hopes that ST. NICHOLAS soon would be there;
\nThe children were nestled all snug in their beds,
\nWhile visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;<\/p>\n
\nHad just settled down for a long winter’s nap,
\nWhen out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
\nI sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
\nAway to the window I flew like a flash,
\nTore open the shutters and threw up the sash.<\/p>\n
\nGave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
\nWhen, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
\nBut a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
\nWith a little old driver, so lively and quick,
\nI knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.<\/p>\n
\nAnd he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
\n“Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
\nOn, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!
\nTo the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
\nNow dash away! dash away! dash away all!”<\/p>\n
\nWhen they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
\nSo up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
\nWith the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.<\/p>\n
\nThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
\nAs I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
\nDown the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
\nHe was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
\nAnd his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;<\/p>\n
\nAnd he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
\nHis eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
\nHis cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
\nHis droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
\nAnd the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;<\/p>\n
\nAnd the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
\nHe had a broad face and a little round belly,
\nThat shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
\nHe was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
\nAnd I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;<\/p>\n
\nSoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
\nHe spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
\nAnd filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
\nAnd laying his finger aside of his nose,
\nAnd giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;<\/p>\n
\nAnd away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
\nBut I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
\n“HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT.”<\/p>\n<\/a>
