An old copy of Lincoln The Unknown found-with a nice surprise inside!

This book has been mentioned under the thread "Book Recommendations....

I was re-reading it and on p171 are the lyrics to a song that Abraham Lincoln liked. Ward Lamon used to sing it some.
The lyrics are melancholy and somewhat haunting toward the end. I'd had never heard it before, but I can see why Lincoln may have liked it. Just wanted to share this with you. I couldn't find the music anywhere else.

I think a good fiddle player could bring a tear to your eyes with this one
