If I were a bell What would make the metal of me sing Oh, friends, not these tones In a time too soft for bells, they sing Where is solace in the noise they bring What hand is it darting In and out between my ribs And what is shaking what is in there Oh, so violently What is it that falls in me And never gets again to be As high as it was 'ere it crashed Focusing on wellness I have focused on my wellness For so long it has become An empty part of me I have said the words and I have made the noise so often It has become strange and meaningless Oh, and when they toll Oh, the tones the tones The timbre
