Bells say, “What on earth are you waiting for?”

Bells say, “Fire!” “Hey!” “Pay attention to that!”

Bells say, “Roll out of bed!” “Run to the door!”

“Christmas is coming!” and “Here comes the cat!”

There are bells on the hill. Hear them ringing?

You’re either late or right where you should be.

School bells, Church bells, Angels newly winging

Cracked, silent, hope-filled Bell of Liberty

Hell’s bells! Dead ringers, Bells on dancers’ hips

Criers ring “All’s well!” Cooks ring “Dinner time!”

Cow bells, Service bells, Bells on trains and ships

Bells ding, dong, bong, clang, ting-a-ling, and chime

When I pick up mine to give it a swing

Does my bell darkly toll or brightly ring?
