To be my kin, or woman as I am.

When you with murder secret-still had robbed

My brother, only they could share my weeping

Who might have brothers; and the rest might all

With eyes still dry of tears, step from me sidewards

Refusing me their pity. But a life

Has every man, and none allows his life

Be taken from him but by God alone

Who was the Giver of it. Such an outrage

Is damned by mankind’s universal race,
