Those Evening Bells.

Those evening bells, those evening bells,

How many a tale their music tells —

Of Yorkshire cakes and crumpets prime,

And letters only just in time!

The Muffin-boy has passed away,

The Postman gone — and I must pay,

For down below Deaf Mary dwells,

And does not hear those Evening Bells.?

And so ’twill be when she is gone,

That tuneful peal¹ will still ring on,

And other maids with timely yells

Forget to stay those Evening Bells.
