Come, happy people! Oh come let us tell <br />The story of Washinton and Lincoln! <br />History's pages can never excel <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln. <br />Down through the ages an anthem shall go, <br />Bearing the honors we gladly bestow-- <br />Till every nation and language shall know <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln: <br /> <br />Who gave us independence, <br />On our continent and sea <br />Who saved the glorious Union! <br />And set a people free! <br />This is the story-- <br />Oh happy are we-- <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln. <br /> <br />Parents to children shall tell with delight, <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln; <br />Free born and freed men together recite <br />The story of Washinton and Lincoln. <br />Earth's weary bond men shall listen with cheer-- <br />Tyrants shall tremble, and traitors shall fear-- <br />When, in it's fullness of glory, they hear <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln: <br /> <br />Though on the war cloud recorded with steel, <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln; <br />Peace only Peace, can completely reveal <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln. <br />Thanks to the Lord for the days we behold! <br />Thanks for the unsullied flag we unfold! <br />Thanks to us, and in our time, was told <br />The story of Washington and Lincoln.<br /><br />Henry Clay Work<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/washington-and-lincoln/
