alfred, lord tennyson: ring out wild bells - peter o'shaughnessy lyrics lyrics

Loading...

ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
the flying cloud, the frosty light:
the year is dying in the night;
ring out, wild bells, and let him die

ring out the old, ring in the new
ring, happy bells, across the snow:
the year is going, let him go;
ring out the false, ring in the true

ring out the grief that saps the mind
for those that here we see no more;
ring out the feud of rich and poor
ring in redress to all mankind

ring out a slowly dying cause
and ancient forms of party strife;
ring in the n0bler modes of life
with sweeter manners, purer laws

ring out the want, the care, the sin
the faithless coldness of the times;
ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes
but ring the fuller minstrel in

ring out false pride in place and blood
the civic slander and the spite;
ring in the love of truth and right
ring in the common love of good
ring out old shapes of foul disease;
ring out the narrowing l+st of gold;
ring out the thousand wars of old
ring in the thousand years of peace

ring in the valiant man and free
the larger heart, the kindlier hand;
ring out the darkness of the land
ring in the christ that is to be
