L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Morning Bells Sound Sweetly

Morning bells sound sweetly in my ear
From steeple yon their pealing reaches me
Each day begins with ringing far and near
Morning bells sound sweetly in my ear
Melodies of love and faith I love to hear
Sounds of “Amazing Grace,” how can it be
Morning bells sound sweetly in my ear
From steeple yon their pealing reaches me.

Gary Radice January 19, 2022 at 12:13 PM I absolutely adore the sound of church bells. I find the sound comforting. A bit like your triolet Milton. :) Cheers - Gary L Milton Hankins January 19, 2022 at 12:19 PM Gary, thank you for your thoughtful comment on my poem. I like them, too, but don't hear them very often anymore.
