 Knell, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Knelled p. pr. & vb. n. Knelling.]  To sound as a knell; especially, to toll at a death or funeral; hence, to sound as a warning or evil omen.
    Not worth a blessing nor a bell to knell for thee.   --Beau. & Fl.
 Yet all that poets sing, and grief hath known,
 Of hopes laid waste, knells in that word, “alone”.   --Ld. Lytton.
