the homestead * of whose sires ^ Are smoking still with sacrificial fires, Whose offerings alone Thy choicest children, beautiful and brave For wrong could not atone : O land ! upon whose scarred and bleeding breast Thy countless heroes lie, securely pressed, Out of the wrath of sin, Open once more its all-enshrouding vest, And fold your best beloved in ! And let us weep that one with faith so great, Whose peerless patience thus could watch and wait To work the great release, Thus, only, strick...en from his high estate, Might enter into peace. MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. And, bringing laurel for the good man's grave, Blest in the heritage he died to save, Let all the people come, And vow its future worthily shall wear This crowning martyrdom. And on and on, through all the circling years, Humanity shall tend the sod with tears, Till from its greatness grows That tree of righteousness, in whose broad shade The nations shall repose. By JENNIE E. S- TV/TOURN all in fair Columbia's land, ~- Lament, with grief complain, Our President so dear to all, By traitor's hands is slain.
