I have read The Bells quite a few times and I think that it is about the life of a person; part I being thier childhood, part II being thier marriage, part III being thier death, and part IV being thier family and friends mourning for them. I am going to be using what the some poems are about for a school report. If you know what the true topic of this poem is please tell me.

I interpreted the overall theme of being the cycle of life being represented by the changing of the bells.
