Farewell

Old church bells will not sing today
They will weep
Sad iron tears
That strain
The tenor of their voice.

That "sad iron years" is simply great, not only for this occasion, also for the many losses in the past. Thank you. Elizabeth

This sums up everyone's feeling (except the 'beyond woke') just so, John. Let us weep too with the church bells.
