clangour

Yet the ear, it fully knows, By the twanging And the clanging, How the danger ebbs and flows; Yet, the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling And the wrangling, How the danger sinks and swells, By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells - Of the bells - Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells - In the clamour and the clangour of the bells!

And in 1952, Crawford did return to writing, with a compact and forceful wind quintet composed for a competition, which she won."I believe I'm going to work again " more," she wrote."If I live to be 99 as my grandfather did, that gives me 48 more years."
