Let the nation's sorrow have its way For him who was the nation's stay !
VII.
Our hearts are sad, our eyes are dim ; We hoped long years of rest for him, To enjoy the peace for which he wrought, The peace with his own life-blood bought.
11 But he has rest Anion ij the blest, And witli the Christ he loved.
Enoui!:h ! his work was done ; The victor's crown was won ; And God himself removed The patriot-martyr to his home.
Enough ! his task was done ; For us remains to guard his tomb, To bid the wi...llow wave Around tlie sacred grave Of him who loosed the slave, And weave the fame Of Lincoln's name With Washington's renown, — Twin stars of glory, Unfading in our nation's story.
12 VIII.
His work is done ; Our work is scarce beaun : ' Tis ours to keep the nation that was saved By his untiring zeal and earnest toil, And by the valor of the hosts that braved The cannon's shot, and sleep beneath the soil ; ' Tis ours to plant the school, to teach the rising youth Of every hue, in every hamlet of the South ; To instruct and elevate the public mind, And show the last-discovered problem to mankind, That Reason's sway outlives the tyrant's power, That Liberty gives strength, and might makes right no more.
