RUGGED FACES, by MARY R. HARTMAN First Line: I love the hills and mountains Last Line: A friend to all mankind. Subject(s): Character; Faces; Lincoln, Abraham (1809-1865); Presidents, United States | |||
I love the hills and mountains, The high and rugged places; I love that rugged element In many human faces. The kindly smile upon the cheek, The furrows on the brow; The lines about a tender mouth, That come there then and now. It makes me think of Lincoln great, So tender and so kind; Yet stern when he had need to be,— A friend to all mankind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOHN BROWN'S BODY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET HISTORICAL REFLECTIONS by JOHN HOLLANDER TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INAUGURATION DAY: JANUARY 1953 by ROBERT LOWELL LINCOLN TRIUMPHANT by EDWIN MARKHAM YOUNG LINCOLN by EDWIN MARKHAM A MAN CHILD IS BORN (1809) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS AT SAGAMORE HILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS BRUTUS LIVES AGAIN IN BOOTH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPRING, FR.
