Rhyme Scheme: AABBAABCC ADAADBBBEAEAFGGHIFJJIt's all very well | A |
Said the Bell | A |
To be the big Organ below | B |
But the folk come and go | B |
Said the Bell | A |
And you never can tell | A |
What sort of person the Organ will blow | B |
And besides it is much at the mercy of the weather | C |
For 'tis all made in pieces and glued together | C |
- | |
But up in my cell | A |
Next door to the sky | D |
Said the Bell | A |
I dwell | A |
Very high | D |
And with glorious go | B |
I swing to and fro | B |
I swing swift or slow | B |
I swing as I please | E |
With summons or knell | A |
I swing at my ease | E |
Said the Bell | A |
Not the tallest of men | F |
Can reach up to touch me | G |
To smirch me or smutch me | G |
Or make me do what | H |
I would not be at | I |
And then | F |
The weather can't cause me to shrink or increase | J |
I chose to be made in one perfect piece | J |
