I	A
	-
Hear the sledges with the bells	B
Silver bells	B
What a world of merriment their melody foretells	B
How they tinkle tinkle tinkle	C
In their icy air of night	D
While the stars that oversprinkle	C
All the heavens seem to twinkle	C
With a crystalline delight	D
Keeping time time time	E
In a sort of Runic rhyme	E
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells	B
From the bells bells bells bells	B
Bells bells bells	B
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells	B
	-
II	A
	-
Hear the mellow wedding bells	B
Golden bells	B
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells	B
Through the balmy air of night	D
How they ring out their delight	D
From the molten golden notes	B
And all in tune	F
What a liquid ditty floats	B
To the turtle dove that listens while she gloats	B
On the moon	F
Oh from out the sounding cells	B
What a gush of euphony voluminously wells	B
How it swells	B
How it dwells	B
On the future how it tells	B
Of the rapture that impels	B
To the swinging and the ringing	G
Of the bells bells bells	B
Of the bells bells bells bells	B
Bells bells bells	B
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells	B
	-
III	A
	-
Hear the loud alarum bells	B
Brazen bells	B
What a tale of terror now their turbulency tells	B
In the startled ear of night	D
How they scream out their affright	D
Too much horrified to speak	H
They can only shriek shriek	H
Out of tune	F
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire	I
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire	I
Leaping higher higher higher	I
With a desperate desire	I
And a resolute endeavor	I
Now now to sit or never	I
By the side of the pale faced moon	F
Oh the bells bells bells	B
What a tale their terror tells	B
Of Despair	J
How they clang and clash and roar	K
What a horror they outpour	K
On the bosom of the palpitating air	J
Yet the ear it fully knows	B
By the twanging	H
And the clanging	H
How the danger ebbs and flows	B
Yet the ear distinctly tells	B
In the jangling	H
And the wrangling	H
How the danger sinks and swells	B
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells	B
Of the bells	B
Of the bells bells bells bells	B
Bells bells bells	B
In the clamor and the clangor of the bells	B
	-
IV	L
	-
Hear the tolling of the bells	B
Iron bells	B
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels	B
In the silence of the night	D
How we shiver with affright	D
At the melancholy menace of their tone	M
For every sound that floats	B
From the rust within their throats	B
Is a groan	M
And the people ah the people	C
They that dwell up in the steeple	C
All alone	M
And who toiling toiling toiling	H
In that muffled monotone	M
Feel a glory in so rolling	H
On the human heart a stone	M
They are neither man nor woman	N
They are neither brute nor human	N
They are Ghouls	B
And their king it is who tolls	B
And he rolls rolls rolls	B
Rolls	B
A paean from the bells	B
And his merry bosom swells	B
With the paean of the bells	B
And he dances and he yells	B
Keeping time time time	E
In a sort of Runic rhyme	E
To the paean of the bells	B
Of the bells	B
Keeping time time time	E
In a sort of Runic rhyme	E
To the throbbing of the bells	B
Of the bells bells bells	B
To the sobbing of the bells	B
Keeping time time time	E
As he knells knells knells	B
In a happy Runic rhyme	E
To the rolling of the bells	B
Of the bells bells bells	B
To the tolling of the bells	B
Of the bells bells bells bells	B
Bells bells bells	B
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells	B
