Title:     Upon The Gallows Hung A Wretch
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

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!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Upon The Gallows Hung A Wretch
