I.
Ring the bell! Let it swing and swell,
Peal on peal, with a joyous knell,
Till it thrills and throes and quivering goes,
Like a thing of life, that feels and knows!
To and fro, with a surging tide,
Let it send its greetings far and wide!
II.
Ring the bell, with thy swing and swell,
For thou hast a joyous tale to tell,
