Let's go see Old Abe
Sitting in the marble and the moonlight,
Sitting lonely in the marble and the moonlight,
Quiet for ten thousand centuries, old Abe.
Quiet for a million, million years.
Quiet-
And yet a voice forever
Against the
Timeless walls
Of time-
Old Abe.
Lincoln may have been carved in the marble but the great values he upheld and ideals he fought for will live for ever and cannot be petrified. So, the poem gives reason for Lincoln Museum to be there in Washington.
Yes- the monument of Abraham Lincoln is Timeless walls of time ///
A great write on Lincoln. It is right that it has been selected as the poem of the day.
FIRST ONE: Short but a very powerful poem, an honest tribute to Abraham Lincoln, the USA president who forbade forever slavery in the USA. Fascinating poem as only Langston could create. Amazingly captured
my FINAL COMMENT; This poem, published in 1926, pays tribute to Lincoln at a time when Washington, DC was still a segregated city. TOP Marks
CONTINUED: Langston Hughes (1902-67) , widely known as a leader of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, brought the African American struggle for civil rights into the public sphere with his novels, plays, and poems..
