Those evning bells those evning 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 past away, And many a heart that then was gay |: Within the tomb now darkly dwells And hears no more these evning bells. :|
And so 'twill be when I am gone, That tunefull peal will still ring on |: While other bards will walk these dells And sing your praise sweet evning bells. :|
