A NATION WEEPS:

or

The Death of President Lincoln.

Words and Music by J. W. Turner

1. Mournful! O, tearful! Columbia today!

Sorrow and sadness obscuring the way,

Millions of Freemen all tremulous tell The

tidings that have our loved country befel.

2. Thus has a patriot, the good and the great, The

head of the nation our dear Magistrate :

Struck down in life by a murderous hand, The

true martyrd Chief of our great Union band.

3. Weep : O, Columbia; your tears long will lave The

grave of the fallen, the "honest" and brave. His

mem'ry will live 'till time is no more, And

nations of earth his loss will deplore.

Chorus

Mournful! O, tearful! Columbia today; The

Mournful! O, tearful! Columbia today; The

Chief of our nation has faded away.

Chief of our nation has faded away.
