-The Bells, Edgar Allan Poe
This poem has four sections each one representing something different, like a persons life. The first section sounds joyful and magical and the type of bells he describes are sleigh bells. This describing when a person is first born, they're young and happy. The second section he uses wedding bells, sounding calm and romantic. I think this section he describes the meddle part of a persons life when they fall in love and get married. The third part uses alarum bells, sounding frantic and scary. This part describes like a fore coming death that everyone faces at one point in life. The fourth section he uses iron bells, sounding mournful and depressing. THis section represents the actual death like a funeral. This poem can and may represent many other things as well.
