I need help please! Will give brainiest for the best answer! Only two easy questions. This is an excerpt from John Greenleaf Whittier’s 1892 “Brown of Ossawatomie.”

“...The shadows of his stormy life that mo-
ment fell apart;
And they who blamed the bloody hand
forgave the loving heart.
That kiss from all its guilty means re-
deemed the good intent,
And round the grisly fighter's hair the
martyr's aureole bent!...”
