dusk waits for no one

[Lizzie]

edit two:
night waits for no one--
quick! down fallen thorntree leaves,
spring, child! to the jeeps

Just to clarify...are you talking about the vehicle, Jeep? It might help to capitalize it if you are, so there's little confusion. But, then, it doesn't take much to confuse me. 

I like the first line, and the idea of rushing to get home before dark, I'm assuming? But, how is the child going down a leaf? Confusion. Or is it down-fallen? Are they one?

I don't think you need quick, since you have spring in the next line to create urgency. It makes the reading too choppy. Maybe put the exclamation mark at the end of the third line (spring, child, to the jeeps!) instead of having it interrupt the line.
