    The Bell never rings of itself; unless some one handles or moves
    it it is dumb.
    [Lat., Nunquam aedepol temere tinniit tintinnabulum;
    Nisi quis illud tractat aut movet, mutum est, tacet.]

And the Sabbath bell,
That over wood and wild and mountain dell
Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy
With sounds most musical, most melancholy.

Hear 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
To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats
On the moon!

And bid the merry bells ring to thine ear
That thou are crowned, not that I am dead.

And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That sucked the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason
Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh,
That unmatched form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy.

Around, around,
Companions all, take your ground,
And name the bell with joy profound!
Concordia is the world we've found
Most meet to express the harmonious sound,
That calls to those in friendship bound.

In passing winds it drowns,
But breathes, like perfect joys,
Tender tones.

Enforcing his own solitude, it tolls!
That lonely bell set in the rushing shoals,
To warn us from the place of jeopardy!

They have tones that touch and search
The hearts of young and old.
