The Bells

The Bells: A Collection of Chimes is a book of poetry written by American poet and novelist Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Originally published in 1855, the book is a collection of poems that explore the various sounds and emotions associated with bells. The poems range from the joyful pealing of wedding bells to the somber tolling of funeral bells, and each one captures the unique character and mood of the bell it describes. The book is divided into four sections, each focused on a different type of bell, including church bells, school bells, ship bells, and fire bells. Throughout the book, Aldrich's language is rich and evocative, bringing to life the sounds and sensations of each bell in vivid detail. The Bells: A Collection of Chimes is a timeless work of poetry that continues to captivate readers with its lyrical beauty and emotional depth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
