To streets where leaking casements dripped
Stale lamplight from the corpse of flame;
A nervous window bled.”

While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged,
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.”

Made him a winding sheet,
And at the back of merry Lincoln
The dead corpse did her meet.

And all the bells of merry Lincoln,
Without men’s hands were rung,”
