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 | ||||||||
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! | Other Poems of Interest...THE BELL FROM EUROPE by WELDON KEES THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 3.
