Brief as dew,
What winds of wonder Nourished you?
Rolling plains Of billowy green,
Far horizons,
Blue, serene;
Lofty
The slow clouds climb,
Where burning
Beat out the time:
These, and the

Baffled longings,
Hopes untold,
Gave to youA heart of fire,

Went out in pain,

Still and true,

Love and a

Mother of Lincoln,
Our tears, our praise;
A
And the victor's bays!
