Quotes

• 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.”
  • Curfew must not ring To-night (published 1870).
