Love
Ring Out the Merry Bells, the Bride Approaches
From Songs from the Waverley Novels (Poetical Works, Oxford 1904)
Love
RING out the merry bells, the bride approaches,
The blush upon her cheek has shamed the morning,
For that is dawning palely. Grant, good saints,
These clouds betoken nought of evil omen !
