Beat! beat! drums! blow! bugles! blow!
Of the bells, bells, bells —
To the tolling of the bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells —
Bells, bells, bells…
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.
(I carry it in my heart).
I am never without it.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih shantih shantih
Bells, bells, bells —
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.
