A martyr to the cause of man, His blood is freedom's eucharist, And in the world's great hero list His name shall lead the van. - Death of Lincoln [Lincoln, Abraham] It was brown with a golden gloss, Janette, It was finer than silk of the floss, my pet; 'Twas a beautiful mist falling down to your wrist, 'Twas a thing to be braided, and jewelled, and kissed-- 'Twas the loveliest hair in the world, my pet. - Janette's Hair [Hair] When asked what State he hails from, Our sole reply shall be, He comes from Appomattox And its famous apple tree. - Poem quoted by Roscoe Conkling [America]
