With deep affection and recollection
! often think of those Shandon bells,
Whose sounds so wild would, in days of
childhood,
Fling rounds my cradle their magic
spells.
On this ponder, whereer ! wander,
And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of
thee;
With thy bells of Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee
I've heard bells Ginning full many a
cline in,
Toiling sublime in cathedral shrine;
While at a glib rate brass tongues would
vibrate.
But all their music spoke naught like
thine
For memory dwelling on each proud
swelling
OF thy belfry knelling its bold notes
free,
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
I've heard bells toiing "old Adrian's
Mole" in,
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious, swinging uproar-
ious
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame;
But thy sounds were sweeter than the
dome of Peter
Filings DER the Tiber, pealing solemly.
Oh the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
Theirs bell in Moscow, while on tower
and kiosko.
In st. Sophia the Turkman gets
And loud in the air, calls men to prayer
From the tapering summit of tall min
arets.
Such empty phantom, l freely grant them
But there's an anthem more dear to
me:
'Tis the bells of Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
