*Last stanza:

Wide they flung the massive portal;

led the prisoner forth to die--

All his bright young life before him.

'Neath the darkening English sky

Bessie comes with flying footsteps, eyes

aglow with lovelight sweet;

Kneeling on the turf beside him, lays

his pardon at his feet.

In his brave, strong arms he clasped

her, kissed the face upturned and white,

Whispered, "Darling, you have saved me

Curfew will not ring tonight!"
