The Bells

The restless wind will not put by Ring out wild bells to the wild sky It pulls and pushes and bends at will Those ancient bells will not be still To celebrate the new year nigh Ring out wild bells to the wild sky Down the valley to the far shore Sweep the heather and bathe the moor Ever the new year's fervent cry Ring out wild bells to the wild sky Blow away these tears of sorrow Now the bells ring for the morrow For Dr Ram's contest

Oh, YES! I like this one, Barb. I'm a "bell" freak. Do you know Midnight Bells by Heuberger. I can go for days with this tune swimming in my head. Catch it on You Tube. Love, Dave
