Upon the gallows hung a wretch

June 27, 2008 in Life, Poems | No comments

Upon the gallows hung a wretchUpon 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!
