- (continued from previous page)Whilst the brazen bell kept chiming
Its tidings through the air.IV
Adeste – sung the Abbot,
From out his oaken stall
And the holy hymn was chanted
By the Brothers - one and all;
The winds swept hoarsely through the yews
That fringed the burial-ground,
And tossed the long grass fibres
That wrapped each lowly mound.V
The Brother still kept tolling
The solemn, brazen bell.
That sped the blissful tidings
Through valley, glen and dell
But, hark! What strains are those he hears
From out the ebon sky?
Why are his eyes so strangely fixed
With rapture upon high?VI
The clouds reel back beneath the tread
Of myriad angel bands,
As forth the moved with radiant brows
And ansers in their hands;
A dazzling glow flushed light below
From every gleaming wing.(continues on next page)- Collector
