William Cullen Bryant's Ode for the Martyred
Presidents Obsequies Read in New York,
April rs, 1865

Oh, slow to smite and swift to spare
Gentle and merciful and just
Who in the fear of God, didst bear
The sword of power nations trust.
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish of land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thy task is done; the bond are free,
we bear thee to an honored grave
Whose proudest monument shall be
The broken letters of the slave
Pure was thy life; it's bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of light
Among the noble host of those
Who persisted In the cause of Right.
