THE WONDERFUL STORY OF LINCOLN

C. M. STEVENS

“I see him, as he stands,

With gifts of mercy in his outstretched hands;

A kindly light within his gentle eyes,

Sad as the toil in which his heart grew wise;

His lips half parted with the constant smile

That kindled truth but foiled the deepest guile;

His head bent forward, and his willing ear

Divinely patient right and wrong to hear:

Great in his goodness, humble in his state,

Firm in his purpose, yet not passionate,

He led his people with a tender hand,

And won by love a sway beyond command.”

George H. Boker.
