As the gravies oversprinkle,

With a crystalline delight;

And they chime, chime, chime,

As a shout from time to time,

From “pottle-bodied” gourmands or animated swells,

Is mingled with the ever-ringing bells—

Bells, bells, bells—

The tintinnabulation of the bells.

Hear the early breakfast bells—

Tiresome bells!
