Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls

Ask not for whom the bell tolls
Said little fairy bell sitting in the meadow
Among the Prim Roses reflecting, the sun’s glow

The Cow Slips in the rain 
The Lady Smock trips on her train
Ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Snap Dragon bites, the Willow Weeps
The Baby’s tear’s, it often weeps
So ask not for whom the bell tolls

The fox has new gloves 
The mother in law a tongue, the lily is for peace,
So ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Blue bell, Cow bell the Canterbury bell
The White bell Pink and Oconee bell
Please ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Bell flower the Chilean bell
The Chinese bell and all
So when asked for whom the bells tolls
I say it tolls on all bells in the fall.
