THE BELL.


From a popular superstition.

1.

Come hither, youths! and in your train

Your maidens bring:

The old man o'er his hoary lyre,

Old songs will sing.

The spirits of departed days

Again appear;

And sounds re-echo'd from the past,

Burst on his ear.

Near Hrub-Kozoged's village stream,

An ancient well,

Has held from immemorial time,

A hidden bell.
