The church bells echoed 
     chimes across the field
          and filled the air with
wonders of their cause.

At first my ears 
     deciphered peace and joy-
          yet too, those echoes 
shed a solemn tone.

The church bells echoed
     chimes across the field;
          their mournfulness now
bellowed through the sky.

Those echoes touched
     my heart- as if I knew
          they tolled in tribute
to a rising soul.
