FRANCIS MAHONY
And cymbals glorious Swinging uproarious In the gorgeous turrets
Of Notre Dame; But thy sounds were sweeter Than the dome of Peter Flings o'er the Tiber,
Pealing solemnly O, the bells of Shandon Sound far more grand on The pleasant waters
Of the River Lee.
There's a bell in Moscow, While on tower and kiosk O! In Saint Sophia
The Turkman gets, And loud in air Calls men to prayer From the tapering summits
Of tall minarets. Such empty phantom I freely grant them; But there's an anthem
More deai to me, J Tis the bells of Shandon, That sound so grand on The pleasant waters
Of the River Lee.
