A BELL, by CLINTON SCOLLARD Poet's Biography
First Line: Had I the power / to cast a bell
Last Line: There should be joy!
Subject(s): Bells
First Line: Had I the power / to cast a bell
Last Line: There should be joy!
Subject(s): Bells
HAD I the power
To cast a bell that should from some grand tower,
At the first Christmas hour,
Outring,
And fling
A jubilant message wide,
The forged metals should be thus allied: -- No iron Pride,
But soft Humility, and rich-veined Hope
Cleft from a sunny slope;
And there should be
White Charity,
And silvery Love, that knows not Doubt nor Fear,
To make the peal more clear;
And then to firmly fix the fine alloy,
There should be Joy!
