Hear the mellow wedding bells, golden bells! what a world of happiness their harmony foretells through the balmy air of night how they ring out their delight! from the molten golden notes, and all in tune what a liquid ditty floats to the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats on the moon!

More From Edgar Allan Poe

Hear the sledges with the bells, silver bells! what a world of merriment their melody foretells! how they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air of night, while the stars that oversprinkle all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight: keeping time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme to the tintinnabulation that so musically wells from the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells-- from the jingling and the tingling of the bells.

From harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: when nature underneath a heap of jarring atoms lay, and could not heave her head, the tuneful voice was heard from high, 'arise, ye more than dead!' then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry, in order to their stations leap, and music's power obey. from harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: from harmony to harmony through all the compass of the notes it ran, the diapason closing full in man.

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

"the flowers have appeared in our land: the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land." when the soul, like the solitary turtle-dove, retires and recollects itself in meditation to converse with god, then the flowers, that is, good desires, appear; then comes the time of pruning, that is, the correction of faults that are discovered in mental prayer.

There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. all the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. and harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life.
