THOSE EVENING BELLS, by THOMAS MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: Those evening bells! Those evening bells! Last Line: And sing your praise, sweet evening bells. Alternate Author Name(s): Little, Thomas Subject(s): Bells; Grief; Music & Musicians; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
THOSE evening bells! those evening 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 passed away; And many a heart that then was gay Within the tomb now darkly dwells, And hears no more those evening bells. And so 't will be when I am gone, -- That tuneful peal will still ring on; While other bards shall walk these dells, And sing your praise, sweet evening bells. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS A CANADIAN BOAT SONG; WRITTEN ON THE RIVER ST.
