SOUTH
Hear the sledges with the bells—
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
Hear the mellow wedding bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
EAST
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;
‘For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
‘God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men.’

Had the puzzle sorted awhile back and rather pleased as I normally have trouble with your crafty puzzles.
Had called in previously but too many muggles at the time.
This morning had to wait out 2 muggles and soon after had found the cache.
Cache in good nick.
Many thanks for a top cache and another Old Saint puzzle crossed off but many more to go...cheers ST.
Now to continue on to Geilston Bay to catch up with a good mate...none other than the CO himself...

I had managed to solve your puzzle some time ago with out too much trouble.
Today I wanted to fond a couple of caches and yours was one of the ones I decided to go for.
At GZ it didn't take too long to find.

Found after a rendevous with whitewebbs on a double point bonus day. Worked this one out in the car and made a quick find at a popular stop.

RLD4963, the GeoGSP, and I were on our way north for the weekend and decided to stop off in Campbelltown for coffee and to stretch the legs.
I enjoyed this puzzle and solved it not long after it was published, so just waiting for the opportunity to go searching for it. We had to pick our moments to search due to muggles but eventually it was spotted and the log signed.
Good cache
Thanks OldSaint
Thanks OldSaint
Lunch time wasn't the best time to search for this one and we spent quite a while on the phone to our imaginary friend as a decoy.
Thanks, good to finally cross this one off.
Thanks for this cache Old Saint. Foggy and a coolish three degrees this morning.
Found this cache on an epic road trip to Castra Falls. Such a cleaver hide in a place where you know where it is, but still cant see it - Or maybe at 6 am I didnt have my looking eyes out!
