Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHIJKLMNOPNQ

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world and upon allA
oppression and shameB
I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men at anguish withC
themselves remorseful after deeds doneD
I see in low life the mother misused by her children dyingE
neglected gaunt desperateF
I see the wife misused by her husband I see the treacherous seducerG
of young womenD
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love attempted to beH
hid I see these sights on the earthI
I see the workings of battle pestilence tyranny I see martyrs andJ
prisonersK
I observe a famine at sea I observe the sailors casting lots whoL
shall be kill'd to preserve the lives of the restM
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons uponN
laborers the poor and upon negroes and the likeO
All these All the meanness and agony without end I sitting look outP
uponN
See hear and am silentQ
