Out she swung — far out; the city seemed a speck of light below, There 'twixt heaven and earth suspended as the bell swung to and fro.

Rose Hartwick Thorpe

England's sun was slowly setting o'er the hill-tops far away,
Filling all the land with beauty at the close of one sad day;
And its last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair,—
He with footsteps slow and weary; she with sunny, floating hair;
He with bowed head, sad and thoughtful; she with lips so cold and white,
Struggled to keep back the murmur, Curfew must not ring to-night.

Rose Hartwick Thorpe

She breathed the husky whisper—
"Curfew must not ring tonight."
