Poetry of Cristel Hastings

Lincoln

by Cristel Hastings

As well recount stars on a still summer night--

Or the leaves on the poplars, or birds in their flight--

As well count the raindrops, or measure the sands

On every white beach of far, foreign lands--

As well name the waves of the world's seven seas,

For each act Lincoln was woven like these

Into one golden fabric of durable strength--

Each act was a poem, and life-long in length.
