Lincoln's Anecdote

黄楝 原诗 黄楝 英译

The chamber witnessed a yesterday rain

It's said that it is a spring

A lone lotus is witheringly standing

All birds fly high

Lincoln is sitting accompanied

only by himself

Lincoln beholds the Constitution

of the new continent

smiles with a epiphany enlightenment

He takes efforts to recite

The Emancipation Proclamation of ??? and ???

Suddenly he is struck to remember Gettysbery

The woman's roaring like a lion

comes from a distance 'n besieged his ears

Lincoln puzzles why

Mrs. Lincoln is called The "First" Lady

Lincoln falls into missing

his mummy now with the God in heaven

Lincoln abruptly feels that he shares

the exigencies of the slaves in the south

who are expecting President Lincoln's

Emancipation Proclamation of ??? and ???

The crack sounds noisily in a certain theater

Ladies and Gentlemen

Turning away their attention from

the stage observe the panorama

Abraham Lincoln looking into the future

his holy complexion is like that of the prophet Abraham

He smiles with an epiphany enlightenment
