"'''The Bells'''" is a heavily [[Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeic]] poem by [[Edgar Allan Poe]] which was not published until after his [[Death of Edgar Allan Poe|death]] in 1849. It is perhaps best known for the [[diacope|diacopic]] use of the word "bells". The poem has four parts to it; each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4.
