A Couple Of Poems By Twain And Moore
Those Evening Bells
By Thomas Moore.
Those evening bells! those evening bells!
How many a tale their music tells
Of youth, and home, and that sweet time
When last I heard their soothing chime.
Those joyous hours are passed away;
And many a heart that then was gay,
Within the tomb now darkly dwells,
And hears no more those evening bells.
And so 'twill be when I am gone -
That tuneful peal will still ring on;
While other bards shall walk these dells,
And sing your praise, sweet evening bells.
Those Annual Bills
By Mark Twain.
These annual bills! these annual bills!
How many a song their discord trills
Of "truck" consumed, enjoyed, forgot,
Since I was skinned by last years lot!
Those joyous beans are passed away;
Those onions blithe. O where are they!
Once loved, lost, mourned - now vexing ills
Your shades troop back in annual bills!
And so 'twill be when I'm aground -
These yearly duns will still go round,
While other bards, with frantic quills,
Shall damn and damn these annual bills!
