With deep affection
And recollection
| often think on
Those Shandon bells,
Whose sounds so wild would,
In the days of childhood,
Fling round my cradle
Their magic spells,
On this / ponder
Where'er l wander,
Aud thus grow fonder,
Sweet Cork, of thee;
With thy bells of ohandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters
OF the river Lee.
I've heard bells Ginning
Fall many a cline in,
Tolling sublime in
Cathedral shrine.
While at glib rate
Brass tongues would vibrate-
But all their music
Spoke naught like thine;
For memory dwelling
On each proud swelling
Of the 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 tolling
Old "Adrian's Mole" in,
Their thunder rolling
From the Vatican.
And cymbals glorious
Swing uproarious
In the gorgeous tucrets
OF Norte Dame;
But thy sounds are sweeter
Than the dome of Peter
Filings DER the Tiber,
Pealing solemnly;
Oh! the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters
Of the river Lee.
There's a bell in Moscow,
While on tower and kiosk, [
In Saint Sophia
The Turkman gets,
And loud in air
Calls men to prayer
From the tapeflng summit
OF tall minarets.
Such empty phantom
I freely grant them;
But there is an anthem
More dear to me
IT'S the bells of ShandOn,
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters
Of the river Lee.
