Summary of The Bells Poe’s The Bells uses vivid sound imagery to trace the stages of life through different types of bells:
Silver bells – joyous and musical, representing youth and innocence.
Golden wedding bells – warm, harmonious, and full of celebration.
Brazen alarm bells – loud and urgent, symbolizing fear, danger, or crisis.
Iron funeral bells – deep and solemn, marking death and sorrow.
The poem is known for its musical repetition, onomatopoeia, and shifting mood from light to darkness.
A few short, safe lines:
"Hear the sledges with the bells— Silver bells!"
"What a world of merriment their melody foretells!"
