“That, ev’ry month, the bell should toll,

“For pray’rs to save her Husband’s soul—

“I shall forget it, never!”

While thus he spoke, the Baron’s eye

Look’d inward on his soul:

No lamps, their quiv’ring light had shed,

No bell, been taught to toll!

And yet, the bell did toll, self-mov’d;

And sickly lamps were gleaming;
