Great. Unabridged free Maryam-Webster dictionary doesn't provide the explanation, but from now on, I will adopt the word assuming it means something like fabulous.

The Bells

by Edgar Allan Poe
(published 1849)


I.

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 tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells --
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

It goes on...
