Flower-de-LuceThe Bells of Lynn
O
O requiem of the dying day! O Bells of Lynn!
Your sounds aerial seem to float, O Bells of Lynn!
O’er land and sea they rise and fall, O Bells of Lynn!
Listens, and leisurely rows ashore, O Bells of Lynn!
Follow each other at your call, O Bells of Lynn!
Answers you, passing the watchword on, O Bells of Lynn!
And clap their hands, and shout to you, O Bells of Lynn!
Ye summon up the spectral moon, O Bells of Lynn!
Ye cry aloud, and then are still, O Bells of Lynn!
