OH, it's H-A-P-P-Y I am, and it's F-R-double-E, And it's G-L-O-R-Y to know that I'm S-A-V-E-D. Once I was B-O-U-N-D by the chains of S-I-N And it's L-U-C-K-Y I am that all is well again. Oh, the bells of Hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling For you, but not for me. The bells of Heaven go sing-a-ling-a-ling For there I soon shall be. Oh, Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling Oh, Grave, thy victorie-e. No Ting-a-ling-a-ling, no sting-a-ling-a-ling But sing-a-ling-a-ling for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
