<center>
Soft as velvet tolls the chimes
Benign reminder of transient time
That marks the measure of mortal man
Regal sound from bell tower high
On Angel’s wings sounds
through the sky
Reminder from God above
To man the eternal
Power of love
Yet mortal man pays little heed
To things that fail To fill
An instant need
So goes unheard
The velvet chimes
Eternal reminders
…Of transient time…
