Ringing Time Poem by Marieta Maglas

Ring in my soul for a great desire,
Ring in my heart, because it's on fire,
Ring down the snow, on its white bellow,
Ring for everything I need to know.

Once more ring, and ring, and ring, and ring
For my love as for a little thing,
And don't ring, don't ring, don't ring, don't ring,
'Cause you're in my heart, my everything.

But ring for reasons, and ring for true,
Because for that reason you love me too,
And ring in despair, don't ring once more,
When you come here, in front of my door.

And you may ring for this truth in vain.
'Tis a purpose to ring in my brain,
When you come slowly to kiss my hand,
Quite silent for this ringing event.
