The Dozing Bell
The Dozing Bell - meaning Summary
Rural Dawn and Gentle Reverie
The poem sketches a quiet rural morning in which a dozing bell animates the landscape. Its peals stir fields, forests, and a sleepy earth while the sun appears and the moon withdraws. Sound moves upward into the blue sky and across water, carrying a gentle wish of “happy dreams.” The scene emphasizes a soft transition from night to day, a serene connection between human-made sound and the natural world as the bell’s echo fades away.
Read Complete AnalysesDozing bell pealed And woke the fields, At the sun smiled The sleepy earth. Some clangs mounted Strait to the blue sky And the forests resounded The ones that went awry, White moon hid Beyond the stream. Running wave bid Him,"Happy dreams" The hushed glen blasts The dreamy spell And somewhere past The road fades the bell.
