Evening bells, oh twinkling knells
That guide us through the twilit dells
Of distant lands! Your unseen hands
Unlock the doors of foreign cells!
Unleash your powers, oh chime the hours
That run like streams among the flowers
Of long-lost youth! You know the truth
That sleeps in high, forgotten towers!
I hear the sound, I’m homeward bound,
Like falling stars the bells resound
Among the bold, among the old,
Among the dead deep underground,
Warm in the earth, and bright with mirth,
Of hope there is no blistered dearth,
They have no fear, they wait to hear
The bells announce their wondrous birth!
