Thus, William Penwick, the jolly wight, In clouds of smoke, night after night, Would tell a tale in delighted pride, To cronies, who came from far and wide; Always ending (with candle, he), “And this is the picture of my Sweet P!” The tale 'Twas how Sweet P did chance To give to the British a Christmas dance. Penwick's house past the outpost stood, Flanked by the ferry and banked by the wood. Hessian and British quartered there Swarmed through chamber and hall and stair. Fires ablaze and candles alight; Soldier and officer feasted that night. The enemy? Safe, with a river between, Black and deadly and fierce and keen; A river of ice, and a blinding storm — So they made them merry and kept them warm. But while they mirth and roistering made, Up in her dormer window stayed Mistress Penelope Penwick apart, With fearful thought and sorrowful heart. Night by night had her candle's gleam Sent through the dark its hopeful beam. But the nights they came and they passed again, With never a sign from her countrymen. For where beat the heart so brave, so bold, Which could baffle that river's bulwark cold 2 Penelope's eyes, and her candle's light, Were mocked by the storm that Christmas night. But lo, full sudden a missile stung And shattered her casement-pane, and rung DRAWN BY ALICE BARBER STEPHENs At her feet!—’Twas a word from the storm outside; “SWORDS BEHIND HER UPON THE FLOOR; FACING HER COUNTRYMEN STAUNCH AND BOLD" She opened her dormer window wide. A wind-swept figure halted below— The ferryman, old, and bent, and slow. Oh, but they cheered ! Ran to and fro; She plucked the petals and blew them out, And each for the honor bowed him low. A rain of red they fluttered about. Then a murmur rose upward—only one, With smiling charm and witching grace Over the floor and through the air, Thrilling and powerful— She chose him pranked with officer's lace, Rushed the officers, here and there; “Washington " And shining buttons and dangling sword;— When lo! A cry! The door burst in No doubt he strutted him proud as a lord! “The Enemy!” Hark! At that warning, magic word, Tumult, terror and din | What was the sound Penelope heard, Doffed was enmity, donned was glee,— Beyond the wind and the whirling snow, Oh, she was charming, that Sweet P! Flew a hand unto every side:— Far and faint and deep and low 2 And when it was over, and blood aflame, Swords?–Penelope, arms thrown wide, It was not the river rushing along, Came an eager cry for “A game!” “A game!” Leapt that heap of steel before; It was not the roar of the Hessian song! “We'll play at forfeits,” Penelope cried. Swords behind her upon the floor; “If one holdeth aught in his love and pride, Facing her countrymen staunch and bold, Who dared the river of death and cold, With jest, and laughter, and candles bright, “Let each lay it down at my feet in turn, Who swept them down on a rollicking horde, 'Twas two by the stairway clock that night, And a fine from me shall he straightway learn ” And found they never a man with sword! When Penelope Penwick tripped her down What held they all in their love and pride? Dressed in a short-waisted Satin gown, Straight flew a hand unto every side; And so it happened (but not by chance), With a red rose (cut from her potted bush);— Each man had a sword, and nothing more, In '76 there was given a dance There fell on the rollicking crowd a hush.
