The book is a reflective ode, capturing the collective grief and loss felt by a nation mourning its leader. It explores themes of heroism and humanity, emphasizing Lincoln's character and the profound impact of his death on the American people. The poem begins by contrasting Lincoln's assassination with the deaths of other leaders, suggesting that the nature of Lincoln's fall was uniquely tragic and unexpected.
