BENEDICTA RUIZ
FOR WHEN THE BELLS TOLL
the carillon chimes at dawn
a call for worship and
praise
invoking His Lordship
to bless the land
to bless all the people
a fresh start for a new day.
with joyful notes
small bells, big bells
toll fast and steady
after a church service
celebrating the rites of
passages
a baptism, a nuptial,
holidays
at one time the
"liberty bell"
rang for freedom.
in a muted tone
a single bell sadly
announces
the passing of a beloved
sympathies are extended
to the bereaved
as the finality of life
is accepted.
as the angels hover the
earth
bells would ring a
melancholy tune
time to pause and
contemplate
time to pray in gratitude
at "angelus"
when the day is done.
