None of youWill mercy show, or pity sigh?"Strong men drew back, and lordly trainDid slowly file from monarch's look,Whose lips curled scorn. But from a nookA voice cried out, "Though he has slainThat which I loved the best on earth,Yet will I tend him till he dies,I can be brave." A woman's eyesGazed fearlessly into his own.ReferencesViolets and Other Tales: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/18713/18713-h/18713-h.htm#LEGEND_OF_THE_NEWSPAPER Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/alice-moore-dunbar-nelson https://www.aafp.org/about/policies/all/incarceration.html  https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/why-prisoners-deserve-health-care/2008-02#:~:text=The%20vast%20majority%20of%20inmates,becoming%20a%20burden%20to%20all Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet: https://kbachuntitled.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/rainer-maria-rilke-letters-to-a-young-poet.pdf
