imaginary ocean
Oh, the bells, bells, bells !                  What a tale their terror tells                         Of Despair !       How they clang, and clash, and roar !       What a horror they outpourOn the bosom of the palpitating air !          Yet the ear, it fully knows,                By the twanging,                And the clanging,            How the danger ebbs and flows ;       Yet, the ear distinctly tells,             In the jangling,             And the wrangling,       How the danger sinks and swells,By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells —                  Of the bells —      Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,             Bells, bells, bells —   In the clamour and the clangour of the bells !                         -Edgar Allan Poe

Oh, the bells, bells, bells !
                  What a tale their terror tells
                         Of Despair !
       How they clang, and clash, and roar !
       What a horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air !
          Yet the ear, it fully knows,
                By the twanging,
                And the clanging,
            How the danger ebbs and flows ;
       Yet, the ear distinctly tells,
             In the jangling,
             And the wrangling,
       How the danger sinks and swells,
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells —
                  Of the bells —
      Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
             Bells, bells, bells —
   In the clamour and the clangour of the bells !

                        -Edgar Allan Poe
