　　THE SABBATH BELLS

　　(Summer, 1796. Text of 1818)

　　The cheerful sabbath bells, wherever heard,

　　Strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice

　　Of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims

　　Tidings of good to Zion: chiefly when

　　Their piercing tones fall sudden on the ear

　　Of the contemplant, solitary man,

　　Whom thoughts abstruse or high have chanced to lure

　　Forth from the walks of men, revolving oft,

　　And oft again, hard matter, which eludes

　　And baffles his pursuit—thought-sick and tired

　　Of controversy, where no end appears,

　　No clue to his research, the lonely man

　　Half wishes for society again.

　　Him, thus engaged, the sabbath bells salute

　　Sudden! his heart awakes, his ears drink in

　　The cheering music; his relenting soul

　　Yearns after all the joys of social life,

　　And softens with the love of human kind. The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
