    Great is your faithfulness, O God, Creator,
    with you no shadow of turning we see.
    You do not change, your compassions they fail not;
    all of your goodness forever will be.
    —Thomas O. Chisholm (1866–1960)

    The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
