The Song of the Bell (Das Lied von der Glocke) is a poem by German poet Friedrich Schiller, published in 1798. It is one of the most famous poems of German literature and with 430 lines also one of the longest. In it, Schiller combinesa know ledgeable technical description of a bell founding with points of viewand comments on human life, its possibilities and risks. Motto: The first indented line between the title and the first stanza is in Latin andreads "Vivos voco. Mortuos plango. Fulgura frango", approximately translating as "I call the living, I mourn the dead, I repel lightning."
