Hear the tolling of the bellsвБ†вАФ + 

Iron bells! + 

What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! + 

In the silence of the night, + 

How we shiver with affright + 

At the melancholy meaning of their tone! + 

For every sound that floats + 

From the rust within their throats + 

Is a groan. + 

And the peopleвБ†вАФah, the peopleвБ†вАФ + 

They that dwell up in the steeple, + 

All alone, + 

And who, tolling, tolling, tolling, + 

In that muffled monotone, + 

Feel a glory in so rolling + 

On the human heart a stoneвБ†вАФ + 

They are neither man nor womanвБ†вАФ + 

They are neither brute nor humanвБ†вАФ + 

They are Ghouls: + 

And their king it is who tolls; + 

And he rolls, rolls, rolls, + 

Rolls + 

A paean from the bells! + 

And his merry bosom swells + 

With the paean of the bells! + 

And he dances, and he yells; + 

Keeping time, time, time, + 

In a sort of Runic rhyme, + 

To the paean of the bellsвБ†вАФ + 

Of the bells: + 

Keeping time, time, time, + 

In a sort of Runic rhyme, + 

To the throbbing of the bellsвБ†вАФ + 

Of the bells, bells, bellsвБ†вАФ + 

To the sobbing of the bells; + 

Keeping time, time, time, + 

As he knells, knells, knells, + 

In a happy Runic rhyme, + 

To the rolling of the bellsвБ†вАФ + 

Of the bells, bells, bellsвБ†вАФ + 

To the tolling of the bells, + 

Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, + 

Bells, bells, bellsвБ†вАФ + 

To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. + 
