Dedicated to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln...America's noblest sons are weeping

Description

Broadside reading "Dedicated to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln" including 8 lines of poetry beginning "America's noblest sons are weeping" copyright James Logan [Philadelphia].

Transcription

DEDICATED
TO THE
MEMORY OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

America’s noblest sons are weeping
Her daughters they are bathed in tears;
Abraham the Great has fallen---in
Nature’s sleep, the sleep of years.
Now he’s gone, we’ll not recall him
From a paradise of bliss----
Where he pleads the cause of Freedom
To a changing world like this.

Entered to Act of Congress in the year 1865 by James Logan, in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
