Read & Ring
Bells of the Cascades Read & Ring
dashing through much handbell music
to get the tone and flavor
in case we would like our bell choir
to learn to play it under the direction
of Matthew Compton was fun
even to this bumbling slow reader
playing the handbells has become
a learning to be an integral part
of a whole, in this case,
a note or two in a beautiful instrument
