TWO IMPRESSIONS: 1. AT THE LAW COURTS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: With awe-struck gaze
Last Line: We can but die!
Subject(s): Law & Lawyers


WITH awe-struck gaze,
A little throng
In dumb amaze.

They point to where
A broken rope
Swings high in air.

Down, down, through space
The poor lad fell
There, in that place.

Stirred once, one groan
Groaned as he lay
Still on the stone;

Then no more pain.
See! now they cleanse
The crimson stain

Careless, hard by
Poor vagrants drowse,
We can but die!
