The Recess Bell

Hear the tingling of the bells ?
May be fire, may be church,
may be the cattle,
or is it the recess bell ! .... (1)

Full of messages : brings the recess bell to us
the sweet though of play,
To murmur about and stray.
Once the recess bell rings,
It's time to make the elephants bray .... (2)

The tune of the recess bell; may be soothing
may be rugged.
But it lifts the kids to heights like Everest.
It makes them neglect oneself
Forget about studies; ask to yourself ... (3)

But it's not the last hour
The soft bell now sounds terrible
Again comes the bell which is greeted with fury.
As we enter the class, with faces all shrinked,
The man who rings is never sorry. ...(4)

----------------------

1st draft for last para :

But it's not the last hour
Again comes the bell with fury
The man who rings is never sorry
The soft music changes to something rash
As they enter the usual class.
