Abraham Lincoln
Died April is

How shall we know him in that other life
The life we cannot measure with our
thoughts.
But toward which we send our longings
out,
Like white doves searching depths Of
! dreary sea.
/. For Rock whereon the weary foot may
rest,
Or Olive branch Of promise for the soul ?
How shall we know. if. for him, this new
life
Has any reaching back into the oldp
Can it be true that his high work was
done
When the tired hands were folded on hi,
breasto
Did closing lids shut out the light that led
His soul unerring toward the Nation's
weala
Did silence truly fall upon his life
When his last quive.ing word. his latest
sigh,
Fluttered across his lips and left them stillp
Oh, no, his hands still guide us in the
dark,
Still work their noble work unseen Of men;
His voice swells every strain Of victory
Over a wrong renounced-a right
maintained,
Still, from his lips, the words Of wisdom
drop,
Still from his great hearts wealth Of
tenderness.
Are we ennched who call him all our own
And still, from out his patient, wondrous
life.
A glory lights the mystery Of its close,
Unfolding Gods great purpose for the
Land.
