Book 10 — MILLET'S "ANGELUS"
Reading edition
ELBRIDGE LAPHAM ADAMS '87
Dim, distant, tinkling chimes, That summoned men in olden times To pray the Virgin grace impart; Ye solemn voices of a day gone by, Whose mystic strains of melody Alike touched peer and peasant's heart: Your music falters in the fleeting years, Yet still comes faintly to our ears, Saved by a master's cunning art.
Literary Monthly, 1885.
