by Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852)

Language: English 
Those evening bells! Those evening bells!
I'm many a tale their music tells
of youth, and home and that sweet time,
When last I heard their soothing chime.

 ... 

And so 'twill be when I'm gone;
That tuneful peal will still ring on
while other bards shall walk these dells,
and sing your praise, sweet evening bells.
