Reeling from the tragic death of his wife and the crippling war wounds of his son, Longfellow penned the words to Christmas Bells during one of the darkest times in American history. And while the words reflect his obvious despair and grief, it is the triumphant message of peace on earth, good will to men for which this song and Longfellow’s personal story is remembered.
