LINCOLN PARK by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: UNWALLED IT LIES, AND OPEN AS THE SUN
Last Line: BENEATH, FOR AYE, AND ALL ETERNITY.
Unwalled it lies, and open as the sun
When God swings wide the dark doors of the East.
Oh, keep this one spot, still this one,
Where tramp or banker, laymen or high priest,
May equal meet before the face of God:
Yea, equals stand upon that common sod
Where they shall one day equals be
Beneath, for aye, and all eternity.
