EndicottHenry Wadsworth Longfellow

Endicott

Four already have been slain;

And others banished upon pain of death.

But they come back again to meet their doom,

Bringing the linen for their winding-sheets.

We must not go too far. In truth, I shrink

From shedding of more blood. The people murmur

At our severity.
