He would have prevented war, if possible, with honor, but when war came he wrote in support of the Union cause, displaying no bitterness, and when the conflict was over he was most liberal and concilia- tory. He was one of the most popular of poets.
He died September 7, 1892.
THE EMANCIPATION GROUP A MIDST thy sacred effigies f-\ Of old renown give place, O city, Freedom-loved! to his Whose hand unchained a race.
Take the worn frame, that rested not Save in a martyr's grave; The care-lined face..., that none forgot, Bent to the kneeling slave.
Let man be free! The mighty word He spoke was not his own; An impulse from the Highest stirred These chiseled lips alone.
The cloudy sign, the fiery guide, Along his pathway ran, And Xature, through his voice, denied The ownership of man.
92 THE POETS' LINCOLN We rest in peace where these sad eyes Saw peril, strife, and pain; His was the Nation's sacrifice, And ours the priceless gain.
O symbol of God's will on earth As it is done above Bear witness to the cost and worth Of justice and of love!
