The eight reindeer

...when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

but a minature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,

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 call'd them by name:

Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!

.

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!...
