Prison Poetry,
BY
H. P. McKNIGHT
.

In leisure moments cast a look
Upon the pages of this book;
And if your thoughts they should engage,
Just think of me who wrote this page.
And if by chance, in your time of leisure,
You, in these pages, should find pleasure,
Then dart your mind up to this cell,
For here I live in an earthly HELL.
