it unlocks many cool features!
- Hear the loud alarum bells -
- Brazen bells!
- What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
- In the startled ear of night
- How they scream out their affright!
- Too much horrified to speak,
- They can only shriek, shriek,
- Out of tune,
- In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
- In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
- Leaping higher, higher, higher,
- With a desperate desire,
- And a resolute endeavor
- Now -now to sit or never,
- By the side of the pale-faced moon.
- Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
- What a tale their terror tells
- Of despair!
- How they clang, and clash, and roar!
- What a horror they outpour
- On the bosom of the palpitating air!
- Yet the ear it fully knows,
- By the twanging
- And the clanging,
- How the danger ebbs and flows;
- Yet the ear distinctly tells,
- In the jangling
- And the wrangling,
- How the danger sinks and swells,
- By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells -
- Of the bells,
- Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
- Bells, bells, bells -
- In the clamor and the clangor of the bells!
