There are many songs that deal with Christmas Bells. I seem to think you are referring to Longfellow"s ( the bearded poet did look like Mr. Claus- but only composed ONE Christmas song- I Heard the Bells on Christmas day- the verses you refer to made comment on the revolt and division of the South during the Civil War- ( I heard the Bells) is one of the first anti-war Christmas carols and does get off on the wrong hoof. Can"t resist a parody on the upbeat final verse- And then I saw her on my Jeep, Stacia"s not dead, nor does she sleep- the RED shall Fail , the WHITE prevail- for Stacy and her Furry Friends! ( Siberian Tigers, one assumes) Thank you, Miss Romanov.
It's called "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day". It's actually Of peace on earth goodwill to men, but when you see the lyrics it is very likely the song you mean.
