Lesson Form ONE I.
He didn't wear his red coat, For blood and wine are red,
Also, blood and wine were on his hands when they found him with the dead, The unfortunate
dead lady whom he adored, And killed in her bed.
He strolled among the Preliminary Men In a suit of ratty dark;
A cricket cap was his responsibility, And his step appeared to be light and gay; Yet I never saw a
man who looked So thoughtfully at the day.
I never saw a man who looked With such a contemplative eye
Upon that little tent of blue Which detainees call the sky,
What's more, at each floating cloud that went With sails of silver by.
I strolled, with different spirits in torment, Inside another ring,
Furthermore, was contemplating whether the man had done An incredible or seemingly
insignificant detail,
At the point when a voice behind me murmured low, "That individual must swing."
Dear Christ! the very jail walls

Unexpectedly appeared to reel,
Furthermore, the sky over my head became Like a casque of searing steel; And, however I was a
spirit in torment, My aggravation I was unable to feel.
I just understood what chased thought Revived his step, and why He viewed the gaudy day
With such a contemplative eye;
The man had killed what he cherished Thus he needed to bite the dust.
However each man kills what he cherishes By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a harsh look, Some with a complimenting word, The defeatist does it with a
kiss, The fearless man with a sword!
Some kill their affection when they are youthful, And some when they are old;
Some choke with the hands of Desire, Some with the hands of Gold:
The most thoughtful utilize a blade, in light of the fact that The dead so before long develop
cold.
Some affection too little, some too lengthy, Some sell, and others purchase;
Some carry out the thing with many tears, And some without a murmur:
For each man kills what he cherishes, Yet each man doesn't pass on.
He doesn't kick the bucket a demise of disgrace

On a day of dim shame, Nor have a noose about his neck,
Nor a material upon his face,
Nor drop feet premier through the floor Into a vacant spot
He doesn't sit with quiet men Who watch him night and day;
Who watch him when he attempts to sob, And when he attempts to supplicate;
Who watch him in case himself ought to deny The jail of its prey.
He doesn't wake at sunrise to see Fear figures crowd his room,
The shuddering Cleric robed in white, The Sheriff harsh with misery,
Furthermore, the Lead representative all in sparkling dark, With the yellow substance of
Destruction.
He doesn't ascend in that frame of mind To get into convict-garments,
While some coarse-mouthed Specialist brags, and notes Each new and nerve-jerked present,
Fingering a watch whose little ticks
Resemble terrible sledge blows.
He doesn't realize that nauseating thirst That sands one's throat, previously
The executioner with his nursery worker's gloves Falls through the cushioned entryway,
