Ring out the bells the joyful news is breaking
I recognize those words! "Ring out the bells, the joyful news is breaking" is a famous phrase from the poem "Ring Out, Wild Bells" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The full poem reads:
"Ring out, wild bells, to wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him pass!
Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow; Ring out the grief that kills, and all the pain, Ring out the love that's gone, and all the joy that's vain, Ring out the false, ring in the true, Ring out the joy that's over, ring in the new.
Ring out the bells, the joyful news is breaking, Ring out the bells, the joyful news is breaking, Ring out the bells, the joyful news is breaking, Ring out the bells, the joyful news is breaking."
The poem is often associated with New Year's Eve, as it is traditionally read or recited at midnight to mark the start of a new year. The poem's themes of renewal, hope, and the passing of time are particularly fitting for this occasion.
