Man Was Made To Mourn: A Dirge
more poiill we make ourselves,
regret, remorse, and shame!
and man, whose heav'ed face
the smiles of love adorn,—
man's inhumanity to man
makes tless thousands mourn!
“see yonder poor, o'erbour'd wight,
so abject, mean, and vile,
who begs a brother of the earth
to give him leave to toil;
and see his lordly fellow-worm
the poor petition spurn,
unmindful, tho' a weeping wife
and helpless offspring mourn.
“if i'm design'd yon lordling's sve,
by nature's w design'd,
why was an indepe wish
