'The bell is far, and very small,' he said.
'You may not catch it for the walls between
But rest assured, each time you push the knob
We cannot choose but hear the bell inside.'
And what they told me of my neighbor's bell
Has cheered me when I knocked at some hard heart
And caught no answer. Now and then
I poured my soul out in a hot appeal
And had no sign from lip, or hand, or eye,
