Lincoln is gone who ruled the Western Land	A
From the Pacific to the Atlantic's brim	B
And cold and nerveless lies the mighty hand	A
That struck the fetters from the negro's limb	B
	-
Lincoln is gone and now for ever still	C
The gentle manly and the feeling heart	D
And quench'd in might the endless will	C
That never flinch'd from Duty's sternest part	D
	-
The Negro mourns for him who wont to stand	A
The foremost Champion in fair freedom's train	E
Who took the dusky Ethiope by the hand	A
And from his forehead wiped the shameful stain	E
	-
The gloomy Indian hears the tale with grief	F
Of his Protector's dark untimely end	G
And sternly sorrows for the Pale face Chief	F
The red man's brother and his constant friend	G
	-
Now anarchy and rest overwhelm	H
In mid career our lordly ship of state	I
For Lincoln's hand no longer holds the helm	H
To guide her passage through the fearful strait	I
	-
His foresight deep his judgment keen and cool	J
Would hush Sedition's voice and Discord's jar	K
Oh For another year of Lincoln's rule	J
To blot the footprints of intestine war	L
	-
But though we view the blank where late he stood	M
Discharging fearlessly his country's trust	N
His name shall number with the great and good	M
When his proud tomb has moulder'd in the dust	N
	-
When dove eyed peace shall have eternal birth	O
And spread Millennial bliss along our shore	L
And all the nations of the smiling earth	O
Shall learn the horrid art of war no more	L
	-
Yes we may search from Boston's busy street	P
To far Nebraska's wide untrodden plain	E
But no such man as Lincoln may we meet	P
Nor shall his country see his like again	Q
