Dingdong! dingdong! The church bells chime At early prime ''" A solemn stave ''" Ding dong! ding dong! O'er the lovers' grave. Ding dong ! ding dong! The slow sounds weep, And cadence keep With the wail of woe ''" Ding dong ! ding dong! O'er the grave below. Ding dong! ding dong! Strew garlands round The holy ground, Where twin hearts sleep. Ding dong ! ding dong! And two friends weep. Ding dong ! ding dong! The church bells play At close of day, With hollow tone. Ding dong! ding dong! They ever moan. Ding dong! ding dong! Cold death hath laid In earthly bed Two hearts alone. Ding dong! ding dong! And made them one. Ding dong! ding dong! The church bells loom Above the tomb AVhere true loves meet. Ding dong! ding dong!
