POEMS AND SKETCHES.
GOD BLESS ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
An Acrostic.
God bless him for his wisdom, for his wisdom blessed his kind ; Often sorely tried was he, in body and in mind; Devoted, wholly, to the welfare of his race; Bowed oft in spirit, oft he sought for grace.
Love, led by judgment, ever good and true, Engaged his soul in what he sought to do; Serenely, surely and sincerely wrought, Soundly considered, every act and thought.
A loyal hero none could tempt with gold ; Brave as a lion, strong and just and bold ; Reared in grim poverty, riches he did not crave ; A man of iron will, he freed the shackled slave.
Haughty he was not, though supreme in power ; Armed to do battle - if came such hapless hour - Manfully, did the evil time require ; Loth to use extremes, he did not thus aspire.
Innocent and tender, he, as a very child ; None could ever gentler be, none was less defiled ; Cool in all his conduct, cautious and serene, Only he was master, without malice, hate or spleen.
Long live his memory- his life was pure and just ; Naught of guile was in his soul, wrought of love and trust. JANUARY 20, 1897.

FAREWELL POEM.
Not the end of the world has come, dear friend, But the end of the book is here; And we trust that some good has been said or done That may add to your weal or cheer.
For this life is short, though the way be long, And, ofttimes, not o'er smooth ; So a timely word, or a snatch of song, May aid us, the soul to soothe.
So, now, farewell! May we often meet, While pilgrims we yet here stray, As well, hereafter, to know and greet Each other, in love, alway.
MARCH, 1897.
