Like sterile, rugged islands in the sky — With cheerful light ; then leaden darkness came, And left, perchance, a single star in heaven. The early hours sped on, and then the rout In giddy splendor gather'd at the ball And midnight revel, where the windows blazed. And laughter, wine, words, songs, and smiles were free As if they were not phantoms of delight. As still the hours pass'd on, the city's heart Grew weary of the tumult of the day, And sank almost to silence and repose. Save now and th...en disturb'd by clattering wheels That hurried on, and hollow echoing steps Of those returning from the night's debauch, Or sadly call'd, perchance, from pleasant dreams Unto the chamber visited by Death, Or drowsy watchman on his lonely beat. Upon the old and massy bridge that spann'd The river rushing, gurgling on below, RUTH. 35 'Twas far more lonely at that ghostly hour Within the silent suburbs of the town ; For none but stragglers pass'd that gloomy way, With noiseless tread, and hearts that plotted crime.
