Bells of Remembrance
CNINC cececcccccccscceeecees Chime! The music-freighted sound steals out; The air is heavy-laden with a song, alnd pregnant with amvsterious melody. The pealing notes tremble across the hills elnd mingle with the murmurs of the sea. CHUNG ceccccucccneeceeceecees Chime! Trees shiver in the muted air; 1 little frightened cloud creeps to the moon; The shuttered houses of the town grow still; Tlearts dully beat, and eyes long sorrow-spent Prick swiftly, and with slow insistence fill. CHING veces eceeecccereeeeces Chime! Scarred spirits of the battlefieldThose treasured dead-are borne on lyric air Into the never-ending distance, free -lnd joyous; never more earth-canopicd, But now immortalised in harmony. elnd when at last (Chime! ......... chime) He lie, long motionless, the bells Will still awaken, in the hearts of men, Our sorrow for the past sseceeees Chime .eoccccccccccccceeeecee hime!
