A narrow Fellow in the Grass (16 Apr 1865 Jahr – 31 Mai 1865 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

“He likes a Boggy Acre -
A Floor too cool for Corn -
But when a Boy and Barefoot
I more than once at Noon

Have passed I thought a Whip Lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stooping to secure it
It wrinkled And was gone -”

The poem seems to discuss Lincoln himself regarding both his early life as a simple country boy and the suddenness of his death. Other sections of the poem seem to describe how united the nation became after his death.(narrow Fellow= Tall and skinny Abe Lincoln)
