Why

Do bells toll
Rather than ring
When did life
Have such a sting
No ring
Passes between
Our love
As bells toll
Rather than ring
I can understand
With all the deaths
Bells toll
Rather than ring
Surely
There are still marriages 
Amongst all the black
And death
To make the bells
Ring
Rather than 
Toll
