The prisoner recounts his crime and recalls the happier times the brothers had...while he waits for his own death sentence to be carried out. God sends Alza, the angel of tears, to comfort him...The story reveals Whitman's sympathy for the criminal...and seems to imply Whitman's opposition to capital punishment" (Stephanie Blalock, The Walt Whitman Archive).
