For Whom the Bells Toll?

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway Do you hear sound of bells? Do you hear weeping of bells? The Inconsolable bells of churches are crying. In the sky the bell - sun and the bells - stars are crying, On the September land All trees and flowers, like the bells, are crying. On first of September terrorists - executioners Have killed the biggest children's holiday: "The Day of Knowledge" In the small city of Beslan, And In all Russia. On first of September terrorists - executioners Have shot joy and smiles of children. On first of September terrorists- executioners Have blown up love of parents and care of teachers. On first of September terrorists - executioners Have crushed hope and have brought fear everywhere. On first of September in Russia Was a murder Of the most remarkable children's holiday: " The Day of Knowledge" -- Pain of bells, The bells' memories. For whom do the Bells toll? For all people Who have been killed by terrorists - executioners In Russia, the USA, in Israel-- In the different countries... Do you hear sound of bells? Do you hear cry of bells?
