TOM HEAD by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I RANG YON BELLS A SCORE OF YEARS
Last Line: AS MADE IT SEEM TO SIGH.
Subject(s): EPITAPHS;
I rang yon bells a score of years:
Never a corse went by
But they all said -- bid old Tom Head
Knoll the bell dolesomely:
Ay, and I had a skill with the rope
As made it seem to sigh.
