Hear the loud alarum bells,

Brazen bells!

What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!

In the startled ear of night

How they scream out their affright!

Too much horrified to speak,

They can only shriek, shriek,

Out of tune

—"The Bells,”
Edgar Allan Poe

a feeling of panic

The repeated words (alarum, terror, scream, shriek, horrified), the exclamation points, and the chaotic sounds create a sense of alarm and panic.
