A stirring and timeless poem. The Capitol building in Charleston, WV has a
beautiful bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln inspired this poem. The good
people of WV are closely linked to Mr. Lincoln, as he signed the document
that allowed them to separate from the pro-slavery types in the eastern
half of the state. If you love the poem, see the statue.

The description of Lincoln was apparently taken from William H. Herndon's
"Life of Lincoln." The shawl-wrapped Lincoln "stalks" right out of the
last chapter of Herndon's must-read biography.

The surface-message of the poem is clear, but underneath there are hints
of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in the concept of a great ruler returning from the
grave because of great troubles in the world. Note especially the opening
line -- this is the kind of language that Shakespeare could have written.

a great prospective of how he must have thought lincoln felt after his
death. the suffering of people for nothing amidst people after the war.
being wrongly teated.and he wonderd if lincoln would ever be able to rest.
but I wonder if the writer would have ever wrote this piece if he were not
from illinois..he obviously gave a lot of thought to lincolns life and the
way he must have felt
