Text Appearing Before Image:
emed to touch the goal from where he stood, A felon hand, between the goal and him, Reached from behind his back, a trigger prest, And those perplexed and patient eyes were dim, Those gaunt, long-laboring limbs were laid to rest! 17 The words of mercy were upon his lips, Forgiveness in his heart and on his pen, When his vile murderer brought swift eclipse To thoughts of peace on earth, good will to men. The Old World and the New, from sea to sea,Utter one voice of sympathy and shame!Sore heart, so stopped when it at last beat high,Sad life, cut short, just as its triumph came. A deed accurst! Strokes have been struck beforeBy the assassins hand, whereof men doubt If more of honor or disgrace they bore; But thy foul crime, like Cains, stands darkly out. Vile hand, that brandest murder on a strife, Whateer its grounds, stoutly and nobly driven; And with the martyrs crown crownest a life,With much to praise, little to be forgiven. THE GEO. A. POWERS PRINTINGCOMPANY : 186 SIXTH AVE. N. Y.
