# U.S. vs. Susan B. Anthony, Record of Conviction, June 28, 1873

And thereupon Richard Crowley, Esq., the Attorney of the United States for the said District, prayed the process of the said District Court for the arrest of the said Susan B. Anthony and it was granted; and on the 24th day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three of the January term of the said Court at the City of Albany came the Marshal of the United States for the Northern District of New York, and brought into the said District Court the body of the said Susan B. Anthony upon the said process: and the said Susan B. Anthony, being Duly arranged upon the said Indictment (illegible text) called upon to plead thereto, pleaded that she was not guilty of the offenses charged therein, in manner and form as the same are therein set forth, and of this she put herself upon the country, and said United States of America did the like.
And at the May term of said District Court held at the City of Rochester on the 22nd day of May, the said Richard Crowley the Attorney of the United States, for the Northern District of New York, moved that the said Indictment and the issue joined thereon be transmitted to the Circuit Court of the United States for the said Northern District of New York for disposal therein, and the said motion was granted.
Wherefore let a jury be summoned, empanelled and sworn to try the said issue at the June term of said Court in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three at the Village of Canandaigua in the said District.
And now on (illegible text) 17th & 18th days of June of the term of June one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three aforesaid comes as well the Attorney of the United States for the said District as the said Susan B. Anthony and come also the jurors aforesaid; and the said jurors to speak the truth of the matters within contained being chosen, tried and sworn upon their oaths say, that the said Susan B. Anthony is guilty of the offenses charged in the said Indictment in manner and form as the same are therein set forth. And on (illegible text) 19th day of June of the June Term the said Susan B. Anthony being present in open Court, and having heard the said verdict is inquired of by the Court if she has anything to say why the judgment of the law should not be pronounced upon her according to the said verdict; and no sufficient answer being given, His Honor the Judge of the said Court, in the presence of the said Susan B. Anthony does here adjudge and sentence that the said Susan B. Anthony for the said offenses of which she stands convicted as aforesaid pay a fine of one hundred dollars and the costs of this prosecution.

Clerk.

# Trees and Other Poems/Wealth

WEALTH
(For Aline)
FROM what old ballad, or from what rich frame Did you descend to glorify the earth? Was it from Chaucer's singing book you came? Or did Watteau's small brushes give you birth?
Nothing so exquisite as that slight hand Could Raphael or Leonardo trace. Nor could the poets know in Fairyland The changing wonder of your lyric face.
I would possess a host of lovely things, But I am poor and such joys may not be. So God who lifts the poor and humbles kings Sent loveliness itself to dwell with me.
# Trees and Other Poems/To A Young Poet Who Killed Himself

TO A YOUNG POET WHO KILLED HIMSELF
WHEN you had played with life a space And made it drink and lust and sing, You flung it back into God's face And thought you did a noble thing. "Lo, I have lived and loved," you said, "And sung to fools too dull to hear me. Now for a cool and grassy bed With violets in blossom near me."
Well, rest is good for weary feet, Although they ran for no great prize; And violets are very sweet, Although their roots are in your eyes. But hark to what the earthworms say Who share with you your muddy haven: "The fight was on—you ran away. You are a coward and a craven.
"The rug is ruined where you bled; It was a dirty way to die! To put a bullet through your head And make a silly woman cry! ​You could not vex the merry stars Nor make them heed you, dead or living. Not all your puny anger mars God's irresistible forgiving.
"Yes, God forgives and men forget, And you're forgiven and forgotten. You might be gaily sinning yet And quick and fresh instead of rotten. And when you think of love and fame And all that might have come to pass, Then don't you feel a little shame? And don't you think you were an ass?"
# Trees and Other Poems/Trees

TREES
(For Mrs. Henry Mills Alden)
I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
# Trees and Other Poems/Waverley

WAVERLEY
1814-1914
WHEN, on a novel's newly printed page We find a maudlin eulogy of sin, And read of ways that harlots wander in, And of sick souls that writhe in helpless rage; Or when Romance, bespectacled and sage, Taps on her desk and bids the class begin To con the problems that have always been Perplexed mankind's unhappy heritage;
Then in what robes of honor habited The laureled wizard of the North appears! Who raised Prince Charlie's cohorts from the dead, Made Rose's mirth and Flora's noble tears, And formed that shining legion at whose head Rides Waverley, triumphant o'er the years!
# Trees and Other Poems/To a Blackbird and His Mate Who Died in the Spring

TO A BLACKBIRD AND HIS MATE WHO DIED IN THE SPRING
(For Kenton)
AN iron hand has stilled the throats That throbbed with loud and rhythmic glee And dammed the flood of silver notes That drenched the world in melody. The blosmy apple boughs are yearning For their wild choristers' returning, But no swift wings flash through the tree.
Ye that were glad and fleet and strong, Shall Silence take you in her net? And shall Death quell that radiant song Whose echo thrills the meadow yet? Burst the frail web about you clinging And charm Death's cruel heart with singing Till with strange tears his eyes are wet.
The scented morning of the year Is old and stale now ye are gone. No friendly songs the children hear Among the bushes on the lawn. ​When babies wander out a-Maying Will ye, their bards, afar be straying? Unhymned by you, what is the dawn?
Nay, since ye loved ye cannot die. Above the stars is set your nest. Through Heaven's fields ye sing and fly And in the trees of Heaven rest. And little children in their dreaming Shall see your soft black plumage gleaming And smile, by your clear music blest.
# Trees and Other Poems/Vision

VISION
(For Aline)
HOMER, they tell us, was blind and could not see the beautiful faces Looking up into his own and reflecting the joy of his dream, Yet did he seem Gifted with eyes that could follow the gods to their holiest places.
I have no vision of gods, not of Eros with love-arrows laden, Jupiter thundering death or of Juno his white-breasted queen, Yet have I seen All of the joy of the world in the innocent heart of a maiden.
# Trees and Other Poems/To Certain Poets

TO CERTAIN POETS
NOW is the rhymer's honest trade A thing for scornful laughter made.
The merchant's sneer, the clerk's disdain, These are the burden of our pain.
Because of you did this befall, You brought this shame upon us all.
You little poets mincing there With women's hearts and women's hair!
How sick Dan Chaucer's ghost must be To hear you lisp of "Poesie"!
A heavy-handed blow, I think, Would make your veins drip scented ink.
You strut and smirk your little while So mildly, delicately vile!
​Your tiny voices mock God's wrath, You snails that crawl along His path!
Why, what has God or man to do With wet, amorphous things like you?
This thing alone you have achieved: Because of you, it is believed
That all who earn their bread by rhyme Are like yourselves, exuding slime.
Oh, cease to write, for very shame, Ere all men spit upon our name!
Take up your needles, drop your pen, And leave the poet's craft to men!
