The Bells Of Canterbury


Beyond the cliffs of Dover
Beyond the silver sea
Beyond the coasts of ignorance
There begins my fantasy
If I could tell you one of the things
That moves me today
I can no longer hear
The bells of Canterbury

They've disappeared
Gone out of hearing
Silenced, like the bishop
Who dared to face the king
Murdered in the Cathedral
By the king's own men

Now the people are the knaves
And the people are the king
And the people are the bishop
And the bells will cease to ring

“No man is an island entire of itself
Each is a piece of the continent
A part of the main
If a clod be washed away by the sea
Europe is the less
Then send not to know
For whom the bell tolls
Send not to know
For it tolls for thee”

Beyond the cliffs of Dover
Beyond the silver sea
No man is an island
And the bell, it tolls for thee

Now the people are the knaves
And the people are the king
And the people are the bishop
And the bells will cease to ring

A piece of the continent
Washed away by the sea
And I will never hear again
The bells of Canterbury


(“No Man Is An Island” by John Donne, 1572-1631)
