roats Is a groan—And the people—ah the people—They that dwell up in the fteeple, All alone,And who tolling, tolling, tolling, In that muffled monotone,Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart a ftone—They are neither man nor woman—They are neither brute nor human— They are Ghouls :And their king it is who tolls ;And he rolls, rolls, rolls,Rolls, 2aT 39 A pean from the bells !And his merry bosom swells With the pean of the bells !And he dances and he yells \Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the pean of the bells—Of the bells :Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells—Of the bells, bells, bells,— To the sobbing of the bells ;Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells,In a happy Runic rhyme, . To the rolling of the bells—Of the bells, bells, bells—To the tolling of the bells,Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,—Bells, bells, bells,—To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. Edgar A. Foe.
