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,

YoursTruly:

All of these are telling me it's lyrical. Each verse fits in a specific rhythm that could be accompanied by instrumentals.
