    Your fate, I do declare.
    For down you fell; your ground old bell,
    Was silenced ever-more,
    IX
    You're missed by rich, you're missed by poor,
    Your missed by big, and small,
    No secret in your bosom held,
    You spoke your mind to all.
    X
    True time for church, for trian, for work,
    On you we did rely,
    Your peals, no ear will ever hear,
    Good-bye, old clock; good bye:
