Excerpt from Lincoln Centenary: February 12, 1909 My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will, The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won; Exult O shores, and ring 0 bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
