<h3> <SPAN name="bells"></SPAN> BELLS IN THE RAIN<br/> </h3>
<p class="poem">
Sleep falls, with limpid drops of rain,<br/>
Upon the steep cliffs of the town.<br/>
Sleep falls; men are at peace again<br/>
Awhile the small drops fall softly down.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
The bright drops ring like bells of glass<br/>
Thinned by the wind, and lightly blown;<br/>
Sleep cannot fall on peaceful grass<br/>
So softly as it falls on stone.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Peace falls unheeded on the dead<br/>
Asleep; they have had deep peace to drink;<br/>
Upon a live man's bloody head<br/>
It falls most tenderly, I think.<br/></p>
