Part 7 — THOSE EVENING BELLS
Reading edition
By Thomas Moore
Those evening bells! those evening bells. How many a tale their music tells, Of youth, and home, and that sweet time When last I heard their soothing chime!
Those joyous hours are passed away; And many a heart that once was gay, Within the tomb now darkly dwells, And hears no more those evening bells.
And so ’twill be when I am gone— That tuneful peal will still ring on; While other bards shall walk these dells, And sing your praise, sweet evening bells.
