Lincoln Liveth lyrics

Dear old Abe has been forgotten

Faceless form he has today begotten

No forms of memory touch the beholder

He lifted the burden from slaves' shoulder

His words graced Gettysburg's hallowed field

But nothing from this crop shall yield

His life forfeited now incorporal being

Each moment flows by, all hope is fleeing

A terrible fate I fear awaits in store

His greatness will be remembered no more

Perhaps I am wrong I do not know

He is alive yet he lived so long ago
