< < < Undue significance a starving man attaches
Unreturning > > >

Upon the gallows hung a wretch

Upon the gallows hung a wretch,

   Too sullied for the hell

To which the law entitled him.

   As nature’s curtain fell

The one who bore him tottered in,

   For this was woman’s son.

”T was all I had,’ she stricken gasped;

   Oh, what a livid boon!
