    In this poem, Poe thinks of the sounds of four different bells, as well as the moments and locations where you could hear them. While there isn’t really a plot in this poem, there is something comparable to one as we progress from joyous, sparkling elation to melancholy, despair, and misery. Silver sleigh bells are heard first, followed by the golden wedding bells. Then, as brass alarm bells start to ring, things start to change. We finally hear the heaviness and pain of iron bells.

    A set of bells is described as being four different stages of life by the speaker. The initial two are enjoyable. All those who hear their ringing are treated to a beautiful sound and melody. The bells, however, begin to hint of something harsher and much less pleasant as the poem goes on. The reader  is alerted when the ringing pattern changes that something unpleasant has occurred or is about to. One interpretation of this work is a path from joy, or birth, to dread, or death.
