Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Idyls of Labour
Nay, he was not crownless - never. Lincoln wore, but not for ever, Round his brow a crown of briers, Sharpened by the friends Of Slavery, Twisted by the tongues Of liars, And the gall-dipped pens Of liars Still he wore it, wore it bravely Wore it as a hero routing Freedom's foes, and wore it shouting Upward onward never doubting, Whilst the negro's cross he bore.
