Bells in the Rain  lyrics by Elinor Morton Wylie

Sleep falls, with limpid drops of rain,
Upon the steep cliffs of the town.
Sleep falls; men are at peace again
While the small drops fall softly down.

The bright drops ring like bells of glass
Thinned by the wind, and lightly blown;
Sleep cannot fall on peaceful grass
So softly as it falls on stone.

Peace falls unheeded on the dead
Asleep; they have had deep peace to drink;
Upon a live man’s bloody head
It falls most tenderly, I think.

  1. Please contact the composer personally, you will find her online.

  2. I came across this gem, Bells in the Rain, during an Internet search for repertoire on the theme of water for a recital I will give next year. How can I acquire a score?
