+ABRAHAM LINCOLN:
+
+
+Born, Feb. 12th, 1809.
+
+Assassinated, Good-Friday, April 14th, 1865.
+
+
+
+
+"Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
+Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
+The Lord's anointed temple, and stole thence
+The life o' the building.
+
+    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *
+
+"Approach the chamber, and destroy your sight
+With a new Gorgon:--Do not bid me speak;
+See, and then speak yourselves.--Awake! awake!
+Ring the alarum-bell:--Murder! and treason!
+
+    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *
+
+"Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,
+And look on death itself!--up, up, and see
+The great doom's image!
+
+    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *
+
+"Our royal master's murdered!
+
+    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *    *
+
+"Had I but died an hour before this chance,
+I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
+There's nothing serious in mortality:
+All is but toys: renown and grace is dead;
+The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
+Is left this vault to brag of.
+
+
+
+     *     *     *
+
+
+
+"After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well;
+Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison,
+Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
+Can touch him further."
+
+                    Macbeth.
+
+
+
+
+
+Not as when some great Captain falls
+In battle, where his Country calls,
+    Beyond the struggling lines
+    That push his dread designs
+
+To doom, by some stray ball struck dead:
+Or, in the last charge, at the head
+    Of his determined men,
+    Who _must_ be victors then!
+
+Nor as when sink the civic Great,
+The safer pillars of the State,
+    Whose calm, mature, wise words
+    Suppress the need of swords--
+
+With no such tears as e'er were shed
+Above the noblest of our Dead
+    Do we to-day deplore
+    The Man that is no more!
+
+Our sorrow hath a wider scope,
+Too strange for fear, too vast for hope,--
+    A Wonder, blind and dumb,
+    That waits--what is to come!
+
+Not more astounded had we been
+If Madness, that dark night, unseen,
+    Had in our chambers crept,
+    And murdered while we slept!
+
+We woke to find a mourning Earth--
+Our Lares shivered on the hearth,--
+    The roof-tree fallen,--all
+    That could affright, appall!
+
+Such thunderbolts, in other lands,
+Have smitten the rod from royal hands,
+    But spared, with us, till now,
+    Each laurelled Cesar's brow!
+
+No Cesar he, whom we lament,
+A Man without a precedent,
+    Sent, it would see, to do
+    His work--and perish too!
+
+Not by the weary cares of State,
+The endless tasks, which will not wait,
+    Which, often done in vain,
+    Must yet be done again:
+
+Not in the dark, wild tide of War,
+Which rose so high, and rolled so far,
+    Sweeping from sea to sea
+    In awful anarchy:--
+
+Four fateful years of mortal strife,
+Which slowly drained the Nation's life,
+    (Yet, for each drop that ran
+    There sprang an armed man!)
+
+Not then;--but when by measures meet,--
+By victory, and by defeat,--
+    By courage, patience, skill,
+    The People's fixed _"We will!"_
+
+Had pierced, had crushed Rebellion dead,--
+Without a Hand, without a Head:--
+    At last, when all was well,
+    He fell--O, _how_ he fell!
+
+The time,--the place,--the stealing Shape,--
+The coward shot,--the swift escape,--
+    The wife--the widow's scream,--
+    It is a hideous Dream!
+
+A Dream?--what means this pageant, then?
+These multitudes of solemn men,
+    Who speak not when they meet,
+    But throng the silent street?
+
+The flags half-mast, that late so high
+Flaunted at each new victory?
+    (The stars no brightness shed,
+    But bloody looks the red!)
+
+The black festoons that stretch for miles,
+And turn the streets to funeral aisles?
+    (No house too poor to show
+    The Nation's badge of woe!)
+
+The cannon's sudden, sullen boom,--
+The bells that toll of death and doom,--
+    The rolling of the drums,--
+    The dreadful Car that comes?
+
+Cursed be the hand that fired the shot!
+The frenzied brain that hatched the plot!
+    Thy Country's Father slain
+    By thee, thou worse than Cain!
+
+Tyrants have fallen by such as thou,
+And Good hath followed--May it now!
+    (God lets bad instruments
+    Produce the best events.)
+
+But he, the Man we mourn to-day,
+No tyrant was: so mild a sway
+    In one such weight who bore
+    Was never known before!
+
+Cool should he be, of balanced powers,
+The Ruler of a Race like ours,
+    Impatient, headstrong, wild,--
+    The Man to guide the Child!
+
+And this _he_ was, who most unfit
+(So hard the sense of God to hit!)
+    Did seem to fill his Place.
+    With such a homely face,--
+
+Such rustic manners,--speech uncouth,--
+(That somehow blundered out the Truth!)
+    Untried, untrained to bear
+    The more than kingly Care?
+
+Ay! And his genius put to scorn
+The proudest in the purple born,
+    Whose wisdom never grew
+    To what, untaught, he knew--
+
+The People, of whom he was one.
+No gentleman like Washington,--
+    (Whose bones, methinks, make room,
+    To have him in their tomb!)
+
+A laboring man, with horny hands,
+Who swung the axe, who tilled his lands,
+    Who shrank from nothing new,
+    But did as poor men do!
+
+One of the People! Born to be
+Their curious Epitome;
+    To share, yet rise above
+    Their shifting hate and love.
+
+Common his mind (it seemed so then),
+His thoughts the thoughts of other men:
+    Plain were his words, and poor--
+    But now they will endure!
+
+No hasty fool, of stubborn will,
+But prudent, cautious, pliant, still;
+    Who, since his work was good,
+    Would do it, as he could.
+
+Doubting, was not ashamed to doubt,
+And, lacking prescience, went without:
+    Often appeared to halt,
+    And was, of course, at fault:
+
+Heard all opinions, nothing loth,
+And loving both sides, angered both:
+    Was--_not_ like Justice, blind,
+    But watchful, clement, kind.
+
+No hero, this, of Roman mould;
+Nor like our stately sires of old:
+    Perhaps he was not Great--
+    But he preserved the State!
+
+O honest face, which all men knew!
+O tender heart, but known to few!
+    O Wonder of the Age,
+    Cut off by tragic Rage!
+
+Peace! Let the long procession come,
+For hark!--the mournful, muffled drum--
+    The trumpet's wail afar,--
+    And see! the awful Car!
+
+Peace! Let the sad procession go,
+While cannon boom, and bells toll slow:
+    And go, thou sacred Car,
+    Bearing our Woe afar!
+
+Go, darkly borne, from State to State,
+Whose loyal, sorrowing Cities wait
+    To honor all they can
+    The dust of that Good Man!
+
+Go, grandly borne, with such a train
+As greatest kings might die to gain:
+    The Just, the Wise, the Brave
+    Attend thee to the grave!
+
+And you, the soldiers of our wars,
+Bronzed veterans, grim with noble scars,
+    Salute him once again,
+    Your late Commander--slain!
+
+Yes, let your tears, indignant, fall,
+But leave your muskets on the wall:
+    Your Country needs you now
+    Beside the forge, the plough!
+
+(When Justice shall unsheathe her brand,--
+If Mercy may not stay her hand,
+    Nor would we have it so--
+    _She_ must direct the blow!)
+
+And you, amid the Master-Race,
+Who seem so strangely out of place,
+    Know ye who cometh? He
+    Who hath declared ye Free!
+
+Bow while the Body passes--Nay,
+Fall on your knees, and weep, and pray!
+    Weep, weep--I would ye might--
+    Your poor, black faces white!
+
+And, Children, you must come in bands,
+With garlands in your little hands,
+    Of blue, and white, and red,
+    To strew before the Dead!
+
+So, sweetly, sadly, sternly goes
+The Fallen to his last repose:
+    Beneath no mighty dome,
+    But in his modest Home;
+
+The churchyard where his children rest,
+The quiet spot that suits him best:
+    There shall his grave be made,
+    And there his bones be laid!
+
+And there his countrymen shall come,
+With memory proud, with pity dumb,
+    And strangers far and near,
+    For many and many a year!
+
+For many a year, and many an Age,
+While History on her ample page
+    The virtues shall enroll
+    Of that Paternal Soul!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.

+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will

+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
