Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address


Fondly do we hope,
Fervently do we pray,
That this mighty scourge of war
May speedily pass away.

From A. Lincoln's second inaugural address. It is considered to be the best inaugural address in history. For more on inaugural history--with some excellent moments of laughter--read Ted Widmer's article in The American Scholar
