Curfew Tolls Over Radio In Tribute To Notv Aged Writer Of Famous Poem
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Mar. 12—(UP)—The lulling of curfew bells rang out over air lanes of the nation tonight as a little old lady of nearly 81 years sat by the radio and listened to thc story of “curfcw must not ring tonight,” broadcast from New York.
The little old lady, exceedingly
spry despite her years, was Hose Hartwlck Thorpe, who wrote the immortal poem nearly 64 years ago.
It was not the fact that her own lover was in danger that caused Rose to write the poem when she was Just 17 years old, as many persons believe today. She was too busy with her studies to think of love at that age.
She read the story in a magazine published two years before. It was the fact that “at the ringing of the curfew Basil Underwood must die” that impressed the then Rose Hart-wick. So she sat down with her slate In her lap and penned tbe poem that has been the test of elocution in schools for 40 year*.
It was a very melodramatic poem:
“I’ve a lover In that prison, doomed this very night to die,
At the ringing of the curfew, and no earthly help I* nigh.”
So naturally, the "curfew must not ring *.onight,” Just as the girl wrote In the poem. But up spoke the sexton, "Now I'm old 1 will not falter, girl. Girl, the curfew rings tonight.”
Mrs. Thorpe said tonight that the present generation probably was not acquainted with Bessie and her predicament. She asked that the story be repeated.
Bessie, knowing that willi the tolling of curfew her lover would die at the orders of Oliver Cromwell, "Mounted up the gloomy tower where the bell swung to and fro.” As the deaf sexton pulled at the rope, she grasped the clapper, swung wide with the bell and effectively stilled it. Along came Cromwell and when she told him what she had done he spoke the lines that freed young Basil,"
"Go, your lover lives; curfew shall not ring tonight."
