Full Lyrics
Across the sea, across the sea,
Whose mellow music faints and swells,
Along the wind there comes to me
The sound of distant village bells,
Pealing from some dim churchyard grey,
And vocal with its peace are they.
Ring, ring on, O bells,
Sweet sounds ye are to me;
Ring on, O bells,
Across the sea.
Across the years, Across the years,
I hear the bells of days long slain,
Of flow’rtimes free from tren and tears,
Of love that will not wake again,
There comes a glimpse of far off times
An echo of long silent rhymes.
Ring on, ring on, O bells,
Recalling joys and tears;
Ring on, O bells,
across the sea.
