Two dismal bells were pealing, The dream had passed away -- She in her convent chamber, He in a dungeon lay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEDICATION TO THE LATER SONNETS TO URANIA by GEORGE SANTAYANA SONNET: THE HUMAN SEASONS by JOHN KEATS GETTYSBURG [JULY 1-3, 1863] by JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE WORLD'S WORTH by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 11 by ALFRED TENNYSON |
