Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln: Delivered in Portsmouth, April 19, 1865 Fellow Citizens: At this hour a Nation bows under the heaviness of a great sorrow. Not only here in our little sea-side city, but all along the Atlantic coast, in every port and home, and far out over the wide land, in all its hamlets and cities, from all its valleys and hill-sides and prairies, the voice of lamentation goes up to God. From every craft upon our rivers, from every ship and steamer in our harbors, from every flag-staff on land or sea, our nation´s ensign floats at half-mast over hearts that are heavy with grief. The golden shores of the Pacific send an answering echo to the wail of our wo. East and West, North and South, sit down together in sackcloth, crying, "Put off thy pleasant robes, O daughter of the land, lay aside thy beautiful garments for the raiment of grief. For the brave hath gone down to the place of darkness; the cedar is bowed in the dust; his leaves are perished. Let the fir tree mourn aloud in Elealeh; let the cedars of Lebanon hang their heads in tears." What has befallen our land to cause this universal mourning? Only a little week ago our hearts were all jubilant over the tidings of victory and promises of returning peace. Has the tide of battle turned against us? Have the noble defenders of liberty suffered inglorious and fatal defeat? No! No! Still we are victorious.
