NEW CABBAGE PARSNIPS less and fleet; That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light The fate of a nation was riding that night; the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight, Kindled the land into flame with its heat. And > heard the bleating of the flock, And the twitter of birds among the trees, And felt the breath of the morning breeze Blowing over the meadows brown. And one was safe and asleep in his bed Who at the bridge would be first to fall. And startled the pigeons from their perch Or the sombre rafters that him made round | Masses and moving shapes of shade; Up the light ladder, slender and tall, To the highest window in the wall, Where he paused to listen and look down A moment on the hoofs of the quiet town | And the moonlight flowing over all Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride, Booted and spurrd, with a étride, On the opposite shore walk’'d Paul Revere. Now he patted his horse’s side, Now gazed on the landscape far and near, heavy | Then impetuous stamp’d the earth, And turn’d and tighten'd his saddle girth; Who that day would be lying dead, Plerced by a British musket ball. You know the rest. In the books'you have read How the British regulars fired and fled; | How the farmers gave them ball for ball, | From behind each fence and farm- yard wall, Chasing the red-coats down the lane, Then crossing the flelds to emerge again TUnder the trees at the turn of the road, And only pausing to fire and load, ! So through the night rode Paul Re- vere; | And so through the night went his cry of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm, A carry of deflance, and not of fear,— A volce in the darkness a knock at the door, And a word that shall echo for ever- more! | For borne on the night wind of the past, Through all our history to the last, In the hour of darkness and peril and noed, The people will waken and listen to hear The hurrying foot beat of that steed.
