What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,īy the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells. In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats What a world of happiness their harmony foretells! To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsįrom the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. What a world of merriment their melody foretells! The poem has four parts to it each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4. "The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem which is perhaps best known for the diacopic repetition of the word "bells". The bells was a particularly interesting poem which specifically revolves around bells, repeatedly mentioning them throughout. I decided to look into Edgar Allan Poe's short stories and poems as an influence for this transcription unit.
