THEME, by CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER Poet's Biography First Line: Bell, my silver tongued bell Last Line: And thou wonderst why I toll? Alternate Author Name(s): Meyer, Konrad Subject(s): Bells | |||
BELL, my silver tonguéd bell, Oh, thy secret prithee tell: Dwellst where bats and night-owls roam, Lonely in thy moldered home; Tell me, whence thy solemn ring? And who taught thee, pray, to sing? When in gloomy shaft I lay, Night of hell I saw alway. In this tower high and free Through the whirling winds I see Human sorrow graced by soul. And thou wonderst why I toll? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 3.
