Man may die! still joined our hands! Lincoln falls! the U-nion stands! Saviour of our Land and Laws! Dies the Mar-tyr! lives the cause! Lincoln dies! the Good and Great! Waves our Flag o'er ev'-ry State! Wears a martyr's Crown on High! He whose name shall never die. O'er the dis-tant wase of Time, Freedom's bells his dirge shall chime, In the Belfry of his fame, An e-ter-nal tow'r of flame. Throwing out both sound and light, Sound for day ad light for night Guiding, cheering the oppress'd Freedom's Mec-ca of the West.
