Over the brink of it
Picture it—think of it,
Dissolute man.
Lave in it—drink of it
Then, if you can.

The Bridge of Sighs (1844)

One more Unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death!
Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care;
Fashion'd so slenderly
Young, and so fair!

The Bridge of Sighs (1844)

Alas! for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Under the sun!
