Ding dong, ding dong, so goes the bell,
Who knows, for whom it sounds the knell?
Everybody waits, for the old age, to be pious.
Lo and behold! Graves have for age, no bias.
As the clock ticks, with it a moment goes,
Though a new one comes, no one knows,
When for anyone the last moment will arrive
To put him or her, for ever, in Time's archive.
