Lincoln, through zvhose cour-tesy it has been published. yiuaot tiui 3(i.i i lit) ■rnu^ jfi:^ )xuq The Life-Mask of Abraham Lincoln- This bronze doth keep the very form and moldOf our great martyrs face. Yes, this is he ;That brow all wisdom, all benignity; That human, humorous mouth; those cheeks thathold Like some harsh landscape all the summers gold;,That spirit fit for sorrow, as the seaFor storms to beat on; the lone agony Those silent, patient lips too well foretold. Yes, this is he who ruled a world of menAs might some prophet of the elder day—Brooding above the tempest and the fray With deep-eyed thought and more than mortal ken^A power was his beyond the touch of artOr armed strength—his pure and mighty heart.
