Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute to Lincoln: And More Wayside Stories and Poems This poem was the result of an unpremeditated invitation extended to the author by Brother Ernest Merrill of Derryfield Grange, East Manchester, N.H., about three weeks before Lincolns birthday, 1909. No blame attaches to Mr. Merrill, and probably Mr. Lincolns sainted memory will survive even this. Behold Columbia´s fair daughter That sits a queen between the seas, With the stars of heaven to crown her The race of men about her knees. Most glorious is her heritage! Most highly is she esteemed! Waiting her the sad earth travailed, Long of her the prophets dreamed. But the slaver´s taint is on her, Freedom is an empty name, Part free, part slave, and all dishonor Fills bearing a nation´ s sonl! He was a man whom God did send For a nation´s life to save, To hallow the means and hallow the end, And to make a man of a slave!
