    The old mayor climbed the belfry tower,
    The ringers ran by two, by three;
    "Pull, if ye never pulled before;
    Good ringers, pull your best," quoth he.
    "Play uppe, play uppe, O Boston bells!
    Ply all your changes, all your swells,
    Play uppe The Brides of Enderby."

The cheerful Sabbath bells, wherever heard,
Strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice
Of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims
Tidings of good to Zion.

Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells
When on the undulating air they swim!

He heard the convent bell,
Suddenly in the silence ringing
For the service of noonday.

Then get thee gone and dig my grave thyself,
And bid the merry bells ring to thine ear
That thou are crowned, not that I am dead.

And this be the vocation fit,

High, high above earth's life, read more

And this be the vocation fit,
For which the founder fashioned it;
High, high above earth's life, earth's labor
E'en to the heaven's blue vault to soar.
To hover as the thunder's neighbor,
The very firmament explore.
To be a voice as from above
Like yonder stars so bright and clear,
That praise their Maker as they move,
And usher in the circling year.
Tun'd be its metal mouth alone
To things eternal and sublime.
And as the swift wing'd hours speed on
May it record the flight of time!
