The third line runs thus: "How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in the icy air of night." Melody means "a succession of agreeable musical sounds." It is a general term--"tinkle, tinkle, tinkle," means a species of musical sounds, the sounds of the bells. Thus we see that these two lines bear towards each other the relation of genus and species. This relation carefully noticed will tend to hold the lines together. Let us now apply our Method: 1. They tinkle. 2. They tinkle _in the night_. 3. _How_ they tinkle in the night. 4. How they tinkle, _tinkle_ in the night. 5. How they tinkle, tinkle, _tinkle_ in the night. 6. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the _air of_ night. 7. How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in the _icy_ air of night. Now let us recall all the lines together, thus: 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! The fourth line 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.
