Memories of President Lincoln(四)

     In the swamp in secluded recesses,
     A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song.
     Solitary the thrush,
     The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements,
     Sings by himself a song.
     Song of the bleeding throat,
     Death's outlet song of life, (for well dear brother I know,
     If thou wast not granted to sing thou would'st surely die.)
