ne being very short had better be memorised in connection
with the fifth line, and in the expression of the Analysis, we can print
the first word of the fifth line with a capital letter. The two lines
are:

4. While the stars that oversprinkle
5. All the heavens, seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight.

Before proceeding we may notice "night" of the third line is directly
connected with "stars" of the fourth line by Concurrence. This observed
relation will tend to cement the lines together. Using our Method we
say: 1. Stars oversprinkle. 2. _While the_ stars oversprinkle. 3. While
the stars oversprinkle _the heavens_. 4. While the stars oversprinkle
_All the heavens_. 5. While the stars _that_ oversprinkle All the
heavens. 6. While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens _seem to
twinkle_. 7. While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens seem to
twinkle _with delight_. 8. While the stars that oversprinkle All the
heavens seem to twinkle with a _crystalline_ delight. So far we have
learned the following lines:

1. Hear the sledges with the bells--silver bells--
2. What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
3. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in the icy air of night!
4. While the stars that oversprinkle
5. All the heavens, seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight.

The _sixth_ line is in these words: "Keeping time, time, time, in a sort
of Runic rhyme." We observe that as "time" is here repeated three times,
so "tinkle" was repeated three times in the third line. We must have
observed, too, that it is "stars" of the fourth line that are said to
"twinkle" in the fifth line. The two lines are as closely connected as
grammatical construction and the expression of thought could make them.
And the sixth line is an obvious continuation of the description.
Analytically we say: 1. Keeping time in a rhyme. 2. Keeping time,
_time_, in a rhyme. 3. Keeping time, time, _time_ in a rhyme. 4. Keeping
time, time, time in a _sort_ of rhyme. 5. Keeping time, time, time in a
sort of _Runic_ rhyme.

Let us now recall the six lines together.

1. Hear the sledges with the bells--silver bells--
2. What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
3. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in the icy air of night!
4. While the stars that oversprinkle
5. All the heavens, seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight;
6. Keeping time, time, time, in a sort of Runic rhyme.
