Abraham Lincoln Suicide Poem?

[Laurie Verge]

And Herb is so right that there was little hope for people who suffered from depression in the early days. Even into the mid-1900s, it was looked upon with disdain - why can't you pull yourself together and move on? God bless modern medicine.

One can also hope that Lincoln's bouts with depression served to make him understand the deep wounds that families felt on both sides during the Civil War. Maybe out of depression comes compassion.
