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.
