Angelus
When it starts I know it well.
The wistful tolling of the bell;
Out from the heart and into ears.
Across the labyrinth of the years;
Out from skies where shadows fell

The dead of night and lonely tear.
For only peace and faith may dwell
Within the clamor of the bell.

And all life's labors are complete.
When evening draws me ever near
That distant knell I hope to hear.
Then I will bid a fond farewell
Into the twilight of the bell.

it was a time we fulfilled many clients' needs.
