    You owe me ten shillings,
    Say the bells of St. Helen’s.
    When will you pay me?

    When I grow rich,
    Say the bells of Shoreditch.

    I am sure I don’t know,
    Says the great bell of Bow.

    These Flemish pictures of old days;
    Sit with me by the homestead hearth,
    And stretch the hands of memory forth
    To warm them at the wood-fire’s blaze!
