Edgar Allan Poe: The Bells. By Simran Khurana. Hear the sledges with the bells. Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle. All the heavens, seem to twinkle. With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells.
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,Bells, bells, bells. From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. IIHear the mellow wedding bells,Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
Through the balmy air of night. How they ring out their delight! From the molten- golden notes,And all in tune,What a liquid ditty floats.
The Bells - Hear the sledges with the bells. Hear the sledges with the bells-- Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. The original idea for The Bells, is believed to have been given to Poe by his friend, Mrs Shew. An earlier draft, (titled, The Bells, By Mrs. Shew.) Contained only two stanzas, totalling seventeen lines and read. Poe lived in the Bronx for number of years, and his house can still be visited a few blocks from Fordham, on the Grand Concourse. You could not hear the bells of University Church there now - the din of the Bronx is too great, and since the Church was only built in.
- H EAR the sledges with the bells — Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time.
