The Bell (work in zero-progress)
Created | Updated Apr 9, 2010
Last night in hazy moonlight
I heard a distant bell -
It brought to mind a story
That a friend of mine would tell.
He spoke about a chapel
Upon a rocky coast -
And the faithful few who pray there
Have heard the strangest ghost.
So then my friend decided
To go in search of truth -
By light of dawn he journeyed
With the zeal of hopeful youth.
Yet twilight was around him
When he reached the chapel door -
He sat upon the step awhile
Amidst the ocean roar.
And then he swears he heard it!
It brought him to his feet -
That eerie bell was ringing!
His heart it missed a beat.
For in that ancient chapel
Upon that rocky coast
The faithful few who pray there
Have heard the strangest ghost.
And what creates this haunting?
No-one can really tell.
Where does this ringing come from?
This chapel has no bell.
