Bells of Norwich Associations---England Meditative Hope Community Tapes Found On---Cosmic Fire, Rhythms of The Earth Melindaís At Home Mystic Circle II Origin---modern Choreographer---Colin Harrison Writer---by Sydney Carter Notes Julienne was an Anchorite, a hermetic of the cathedral in Norwich, who --- by her words, her wisdom and her life --- guided her community through an age of darkness. Her life is well worth investigating. ìRing out, bells of Norwich and let the winter come and go All shall be well again, I know.î The dance is easy, fun, and of all the dances I know perhaps most easily builds the greatest joyful hope within the participants of the circle. * Pronounced "Norwich" - the w is silent! This song commemorates one of the wise women who, when her society was in time of need, held high the light of hope. Julien of Norwich, though cloistered, guided her community through the dark era of the plague. Simply with acts of kindness and words of hope she offered her community the fiber of peace and strength to help one another and to come through their time's tests. Words in English 1 Loud are the bells of Norwich And the people come and go Here by the tower of Julian I tell them what I know Ring out, bells of Norwich and let the winter come and go All shall be well again, I know. 2 Love, like the yellow daffodil Is coming through the snow. Love, like the yellow daffodil Is lord of all I know CHORUS 3 Ring for the yellow daffodil The flower in the snow Ring for the yellow daffodil And tell them what I know CHORUS All shall be well, I'm telling you) Let the winter come and go ) All shall be well again, I know )
