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.
