Those evening bells! those evening bells!  
How many a tale their music tells  
Of youth, and home, and that sweet time  
When last I heard their soothing chime.  
Those joyous hours are passed away;  
And many a heart that then was gay,  
Within the tomb now darkly dwells,  
And hears no more those evening bells.  
And so 'twill be when I am gone  
That tuneful peal will still ring on;  
While other bards shall walk these dells,  
And sing your praise, sweet evening bells.  
THOSE ANNUAL BILLS  
BY MARK TWAIN  
These annual bills! these annual bills!  
How many a song their discord trills  
Of "truck" consumed, enjoyed, forgot,  
Since I was skinned by last year's lot!
