Only at rare moments of exaltation or despair do we hear the lyrical cry rising above the monotone of dreamlike content. And the people - ah, the people - They that dwell up in the steeple, All alone, And who, tolling, tolling, tolling, In that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart a stone - They are neither man nor woman - They are neither brute nor human - They are Ghouls: - And their king it is who tolls: - And he rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, Rolls At sight of this danger the men suddenly ceased their cursing monotone. |
