18 IV. THIS DUST WAS ONCE THE MAN. THIS dust was once the man, Gentle, plain, just and resolute, under whose cautious hand, Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age. Was saved the Union of these States. LYRICS FROM DRUM-TAPS AND SONGS OF PARTING 4 4 'T~'HE Drum-Taps and the poems on Lincoln, unique I in their imaginative and spiritual suggestiveness, . . contain perhaps the most thrilling summons to arms and at the same time the most deeply moving aspects of suffering and d...eath ever presented in song. . . .
