Explore "Justice" by Ellen Glasgow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
They cursed her with the curse of God, / They smote her with His awful Name: / With brands of fire they branded her, / And brands of shame.
She fell beside the road and lay / Silent within the sounding place; / A dog turned from the passers-by / And licked her face.
Their anger melted into tears; / They wept for her they had disowned -- / They bore her to her grave, and then / The dog they stoned.
