F illing all th e ! a id w ith beauty a t th e close of one sad d ay ;

A nd the lust ray s kiss'd the forehead o f a m an and m aiden fair,

H e w ith sad bowed head, an d thou g h tfu l, she w itli lips so told and w hite.
S truggling to keep back th e m urm ur, “C u rfew m u st not rin g to-night.”
“Sexton,” B essie's w h ite lips faltered, iMiiutiug to th e prison old.
W ith its w alls so d a rk and gloomy—w alla so d a rk an d d am p und cold—
“ I'v e u lover in th a t prison, doom ed tills very n ig h t to die
A t the ringing o f th e C urfew , und no e a rth ly help is nlgli.
Crom w ell w ill not come till su n set," nnd h e r face grew stran g ely w hite.
As she spoke in husky w hispers, “C urfew m u st not ring to-night.”
"B essie.” calm ly spoke th e sex to n —every w on! pierced h er young h e a rt
Like a th ousan d gleam ing arrow s, like a deadly-poisoned d a r t—
"Long, long y e a rs I'v e ru n g th e C urfew from th a t gloomy shadow ed

W ild her eyes and pale h er featu res, ste rn and w h ite h e r th o u g h tfu l

A nd w ith in her h e a rt's deep centre, Bessie m ade a solemn vow;
She had listened w hile th e Judges read, w ith o u t a te a r or sigh,
"A t tlie ringing of the C u rfe w —Basil U nderw ood must die.’'
A nd her b reath cam e fa s t nnd faster, an d her eyes grew larg e anil

One low m urm ur, scarcely spoken—“C u rfew must sot ring to-night!”
She w ith light step bounded fo rw ard , sprang w ith in the old church door,
L eft th e old m an coining slowly p a th s h e'd trod so o ft before;
Not one m om ent p au sed th e m aiden, but w ith cheek and brow aglow ,
S tag g en sl up tlie gloomy tow er, w h ere the liell sw ung to and fro;
T hen she clim bed th e slim y ladder, d ark , w ith o u t one ray of light.
U p w ard still, h er p ale lips saying: “C urfew shall not ring to-night.”
She has reached the topm ost ladder, o'er h er han g s the g reat d a rk hell,
A nd the aw fu l gloom benenth her, like th e p a th w a y dow n to hell;
See. the pondrous tongue is sw inging, 'tis th e hour of C u rfew now,
A nd the sight has chilled her bosom, stopped h e r b reath an d paled h e r

Shall she let it ring? No. never! h e r eyes flash w ith sudden light,
As she spring s and g rasp s it firm ly—"C urfew slinll not ring to-night!"
O ut site sw ung, fa r out. tlie city seem ed a tin y speck below ;

A nd lie th o u g h t th e tw ilig h t C urfew rang young B asil's fu n eral knell;
Still the m aiden clinging (irmly, cheek nnd brow so pale and w hite,
Stilled her frig h ten ed h e a rt's w ild b eatin g —'"C urfnt sholt not ring
