The vil-lage bells are ring-ing,

And mer-ri-ly they chime;

The vil-lage choir is sing-ing,

For 'tis a hap-py time;

The chap-el walls are lad-en

With gar-lands rich and gay,

To greet the vil-lage ma-id-en

Up-on her wed-ding day.

verse 2
But summer joys have faded and summer hopes have flown;
Her brow with grief is shaded, her happy smiles are gone;
Yet why her heart is laden, not one, alas! can say.
Who saw the village maiden upon her wedding day.

verse 3
The village bells are ringing, But hark, how sad and slow,
The village choir is singing a requiem soft and low;
And all with sorrow laden their tearful tribute pay
Who saw the village maiden upon her wedding day.
