ted,1906, by Edwin Markham. xlvii xlviii Abraham Lincoln As to the great oak flaring to the wind —To the graves low hill as to the MatterhornThat shoulders out the sky. And so he came.From prairie cabin up to Capitol,One fair ideal led our chieftain on.Forevermore he burned to do his deedWith the fine stroke and gesture of a king.He built the rail pile as he built the State,Pouring his splendid strength through every blow,The conscience of him testing every stroke,To make his deed the measure of a man. So came the Captain with the mighty heart;And when the step of earthquake shook the house,Wrenching the rafters from their ancient hold,He held the ridgepole up and spiked againThe rafters of the Home. He held his place —Held the long purpose like a growing tree —Held on through blame and faltered not at praise.And when he fell in whirlwind, he went downAs when a kingly cedar green with boughs,Goes down with a great shout upon the hills,And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.
