        The bells! — ah, the bells!
        The heavy iron bells!
        Hear the tolling of the bells!
            Hear the knells!
    How horrible a monody there floats
        From their throats —
        From their deep-toned throats!
    How I shudder at the notes
        From the melancholy throats
        Of the bells, bells, bells —
            Of the bells —
