I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all
oppression and shame;
I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying,
neglected, gaunt, desperate;
I mark  jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be
hid--I see these sights on the earth;
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny--I see martyrs and
prisoners;
I observe a famine at sea--I observe the sailors casting lots who
shall be ****'d, to preserve the lives of the rest;
All these--All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look
out upon,
See, hear, and am silent.
