The Rising Bell
The blanket is drawn
more tightly about
and over your head.
Sleep lay heavily
on your lazy eyelids.
You stretch and yawn
and pray it's not morning.
But suddenly,
you frown and curse
that early morning enemy---the time keeper
because of the unwanted sound
of the rising bell.
'Oh, what an unpleasant sound!
'Killing! Crazy!! Wicked!!!
'I've just started sleeping.
But no, it's an order,
Wake up!
more tightly about
and over your head.
Sleep lay heavily
on your lazy eyelids.
You stretch and yawn
and pray it's not morning.
But suddenly,
you frown and curse
that early morning enemy---the time keeper
because of the unwanted sound
of the rising bell.
'Oh, what an unpleasant sound!
'Killing! Crazy!! Wicked!!!
'I've just started sleeping.
But no, it's an order,
Wake up!
