"With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

Now DASHER! Now DANCER! Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! On, CUPID! On, DONNER* and BLITZEN**!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! and off and off we will fly!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
