. Der dichter Lincoln: Tribute in Vers auf die gemarterten Präsident. ; Beantwortet Weichen, die Beratung der Barmherzigkeit, er soll nicht sterben! Der Grund, warum er aus dem Kerker hörte, die Reisfelder, die dunklen Laderäumen von Schiffen; Jeder müde und schwach schreien die Unterdrückung auf mens Lippen erstickte. Die dichter LINCOLN 213 in Ihrem Ofen, der Jahrhunderte hud ihre Fesseln und Ketten verschweißt; und wie Seile, in den Händen von seinen Zweck, er riß sie in Twain. Wer kann das sein, was er für die Menschen; was er war an den Staat? Soll im Alter zu uns so gut und so toll? Unsere Herzen mit ihre Qualen sind kaputt, Unsere

. The poets' Lincoln : tributes in verse to the martyred President. ;Answered soft, taking counsel of mercy, This man shall not die! Why, he heard from the dungeons, the rice-fields, The dark holds of ships;Every faint, feeble cry which oppression Smothered down on mens lips. THE POETS LINCOLN 213 In her furnace, the centuries hud welded Their fetter and chain;And like withes, in the hands of his purpose, He snapped them in twain. Who can be what he was to the people; What he was to the State?Shall the ages bring to us another As good and as great? Our hearts with their anguish are broken, Our wet eyes are dim;For us is the loss and the sorrow, The triumph for him! For, ere this, face to face with his Father Our Martyr hath stood;Giving into his hand the white record With its great seal of blood! That the hand which reached out of the darkness Hath taken the whole?Yea, the arm and the head of the people— The heart and the soul! And that heart, oer whose dread awful silence A nation has wept;Was the truest, and gentlest, and sweetest A man ever kept!.

There is a vast ovalof cut stone, thirty by sixty feet, the interior fashionedto form a classic bench, and the statue stands on astone pedestal. The sculptor represents hirn as anorator, just risen from his chair, which is shown behindhim, and waiting for the audience to become quiet be-fore beginning his speech. The attitude is that alwaysassumed by Lincoln at the beginning—one hand be-hind him, and the other grasping the lapel of his coat.He appears the very incarnation of rugged grandeurwhich held the master mind of this age. CHARLES GRAHAM HALPIN (Miles OReilly)was born near Oldcastle, County of Meath, Ire-land, November 20, 1829. Graduated from Trin-ity College, Dublin, in 1846. He entered the
