Historical personages from distant times
Recalled in simple unmetered rhymes.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809 – 1865)
Of American presidents he was the best.
Fought a Civil War, the severest test.
It was a fight to free every slave
In the land of the free and home of the brave.
This hero in the American nation
Signed the Emancipation proclamation,
Shot by an assassin while watching a play,
He died in the morning the following day.
