Quote:
Far away across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

When you read this stanza, leaving the word "magic" out of the last line, it has the perfect cadence you would expect from a piece of poetry you learned in school. During those two extra syllables, it drags just enough to call attention to the passage
. of
... time.
"Time" as written by Nicholas Berkeley Mason David Jon Gilmour
