"Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. "
- Exerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Bells"
This was once the location of St. Luke's Church in Hamlet which stood from 1877 - 1996. The plaque reads, as follows:
"IN MEMORY OF THIS LOVELY ANGLICAN CHURCH, THE PIONEERS AND ALL THE FAMILIES WHO PRAYED AND WORSHIPPED HERE FOR 119 YEARS - TO THE GLORY OF GOD
-THEY DID NOT LABOUR IN VAIN-"
