Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

Listen, my children, and you shall I
hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in seven
ty-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and
year.
He said to his friend, "If the British
march
BY land or sea from the town tonight,
Hang lantern aloft in the belfry !
arch
Of the North Church Tower as sig
nal light;
One, If by land, and two if by sea;
And l on the opposite shore will be
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and
farm,
For the country folk to be up an TO
arm"
Then, he said: Goodnight" and
with muffled oar,
Silently rowed to the Charlestown
shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where, swinging wide at her moor
ings, lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war.
A phantom ship, with each mast and
spar
Across the moon like prison bar,
And huge black hulk, that was
nlapnif:ed
By its own reflection in the tide.
Meanwhile. his friend, through alley
and street
Wanders and watches with eager ears
Till in the silence around him he
hears
The muster of men at the barrack
The sound of arms and the tramp of
feet,
And measured tread of the grenadiers
Marching down to their boats on the
shore.
Then he climbed the tower of the old
North Church,
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy
tread,
Il.
And startled the pigeons from their
perch
On the combre rafters, that round
him made
Glasses and moving shapes of shade,
By the trembling ladder, steep and
tall
To the highest window in the wall
Where he paused to listen ard look
A moment on the roofs of the town
And the moonlight flowing over all
Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the
dead,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear like sentinel's
tread,
The watchful night wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to ten,
And seeming to whisper, "All is we'll!
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the
secret dread
OF the lonely belfry and the dead
For sudden all his thoughts are bent
On shadowy something far away
Where the river winds to meet the
A line of black that bends and float:
On the rising tide like Il bridge Of
boats
Meanwhile, impatient to mount anc
ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heav.
stride
On the opposite shore walked Pau
Revere.
Now he patted his horses side,
Now gazed at the landscape far ant
near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the eartl
And turned and frightened his saddle
girth;
But mostly he watched with eagel
search
The belfry-tower of the old NORTH
Church,
AS it rose above the graves on thu
hill
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-04-15

Lonely and spectral and sombre and
still.
And. 10! as he looks, on the belfry's
height,
A glimmer, and then a CLEAN of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bride
he turns,
But fingers and gazes, till full on his
sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns!
A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in
the dark
And beneath, from the pebbles, in
passing, a spark
Struck out by steed, flying, fear
less and fleet;
That was all And yet, through the
gloom and light,
The fate of nation was riding that
night;
And the spark struck out by that
steed, in his flight,
Aindled the land into flame with its
heat.
He has left the village and mounted
the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad
and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean
tides;
And under the alders that skirt its
edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on
the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he
rides.
1t was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Med
ford town.
He heard the growing of the COCK,
And the barking of the farmers dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog
That rises after the sun goes down.
| 1t was one by the village clock
| When he galloped into Lexington.
! He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
and the meeting house windows,
blanl, and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look
/ upon.
1t was two by the village clock
| When he came to the bridge in Con-
/ cord town. ..
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the
4 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,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket-ball
You know the rest In the book 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, -- a..
Chasing the red-coats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge
again -...-- .....-
Under the trees at the turn of the
. road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
; So through the night rode Paul Re
we're,
And so through the night went his
cry of alarm ~. .
To every Middlesex village and
farm
Y A cry of defiance and not Of fear,
A voice in the darkness, knock at
| the door -
And a word that shall echo forever
more! ~.
j For, borne on the night-wind of the
past,
1 Through all our history, to the last,
: In the hour of darkness and peril and
need,
r The people will ,waken and listen to
hear
4 The hurrying hoof beats of that
steed,
e And the midnight message of Pau!
