The bells! – ah, the bells!
The little silver bells!
How fairy-like a melody there floats
From their throats. –
From their merry little throats –
From the silver, tinkling throats
Of the bells, bells, bells –
Of the bells!
The bells! – ah, the bells!
The heavy iron bells!
How horrible a monody there floats
From their throats –
From their deep-toned throats –
From their melancholy throats!
How I shudder at the notes
Of the bells, bells, bells –
Of the bells!
(Edgar Allan Poe)
