CHIME, solemn bells of Easter! The shadows flee away, And all the earth is smiling In the glory of the day. Ring, tender bells of Easter! Beyond our toil and tears, There wait for all the faithful Heaven's long and happy years. Break, joyous bells of Easter! From far across the sea Bring us the endless music Of immortality. Triumphant bells of Easter! Again by angels rung, Speak comfort to the sorrowing Of every land and tongue. Blend, golden bells of Easter! Heaven's fairest and its best, To hush earth's clamorous discords And soothe earth's sad unrest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOVEMBER by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES DELIVERANCE by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB DOONSIDE by WILLIAM HENRY DRUMMOND THE OLD CABIN by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE VISION SPLENDID by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY |
