The word ‘knell’ is in a lot of his stuff.

Extracted from The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas Moore, Collected by Himself with Explanatory Notes.

As by the shore, at break of day,
A vanquished chief expiring lay,
Upon the sands, with broken sword,
       He traced his farewell to the free;
And there the last unfinished word
       He dying wrote, was “Liberty!”

At night a sea-bird shrieked the knell
Of him who thus for freedom fell;
The words he wrote, ere evening came,
       Were covered by the sounding sea; —
So pass away the cause and name
       Of him who dies for liberty!

Thomas Moore
