Excerpt: ...kip very quiet, don't wak' him up, let him stay on de kitchen wall, For if you believe w'at de ole man say, you believe anyt'ing at all. DE BELL OF ST. MICHEL. Go 'way, go 'way, don't ring no more, ole bell of Saint Michel, For if you do, I can't stay here, you know dat very well, No matter how I close ma ear, I can't shut out de soun', It rise so high 'bove all de noise of dis beeg Yankee town. An' w'en it ring, I t'ink I feel de cool, cool summer breeze Dat's blow across Lac Peezagonk, an' play among de trees, Dey're makin' hay, I know mese'f, can smell de pleasant smell O! how I wish I could be dere to-day on Saint Michel! It's fonny t'ing, for me I'm sure, dat's travel ev'ryw'ere, How moche I t'ink of long ago w'en I be leevin' dere; I can't 'splain dat at all, at all, mebbe it's naturel, But I can't help it w'en I hear de bell of Saint Michel.

Ah! dere she go, ding dong, ding dong, its back, encore again An' ole chanson come on ma head of "a la claire fontaine," I'm not surprise it soun' so sweet, more sweeter I can tell For wit' de song also I hear de bell of Saint Michel. It's very strange about dat bell, go ding dong all de w'ile For when I'm small garcon at school, can't hear it half a mile; But seems more farder I get off from Church of Saint Michel, De more I see de ole village an' louder soun' de bell. O! all de monee dat I mak' w'en I be travel roun' Can't kip me long away from home on dis beeg Yankee town, I t'ink I'll settle down again on Parish Saint Michel, An' leev...
