Explore "The Bells of Malines (the Red Flower and Golden Stars)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

The gabled roofs of old Malines / Are russet red and gray and green, / And o'er them in the sunset hour / Looms, dark and huge, St. Rombold's tower.

High in that rugged nest concealed, / The sweetest bells that ever pealed, / The deepest bells that ever rung, / The lightest bells that ever sung, / Are waiting for the master's hand / To fling their music o'er the land.
