Poetical Tributes To The Memory Of Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Our Country's Martyr: A Tribute to Abraham Lincoln, Our Beloved and Lamented President Our Country's Martyr. The great heart of the nation has been stirred, And in each deep pulsation may be heard One wild, despairing cry of grief and shame That deed so foul should tarnish its fair fame, - So foul, so hellish, even Treason's brand Grows dim beside the assassin's red right hand. Oh, after years of sturdy, patient toil To banish one great evil from the soil, To wipe away from Freedom's glorious fane The first, the last, the only guilty stain, And place upon her broad, white, matchless brow The gem so doubly consecrated now, To know that one so base could ever be An offspring of thy land, proud Liberty! 'Tis nothing new, this crime of regicide; For monarchs have in other eras died Victims of treason; and the guilty stain About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
