Words to Type... | Here! |
Four | |
score | |
and | |
seven | |
years | |
ago | |
our | |
fathers | |
brought | |
forth | |
on | |
this | |
continent, | |
a | |
new | |
nation, | |
conceived | |
in | |
Liberty, | |
and | |
dedicated | |
to | |
the | |
proposition | |
that | |
all | |
men | |
are | |
created | |
equal. | |
Now | |
we | |
are | |
engaged | |
in | |
a | |
great | |
civil | |
war, | |
testing | |
whether | |
that | |
nation, | |
or | |
any | |
nation | |
| Words to Type... | Here! |
so | |
conceived | |
and | |
so | |
dedicated, | |
can | |
long | |
endure. | |
We | |
are | |
met | |
on | |
a | |
great | |
battle-field | |
of | |
that | |
war. | |
We | |
have | |
come | |
to | |
dedicate | |
a | |
portion | |
of | |
that | |
field, | |
as | |
a | |
final | |
resting | |
place | |
for | |
those | |
who | |
here | |
gave | |
their | |
lives | |
that | |
that | |
nation | |
might | |
live. | |
It | |
| Words to Type... | Here! |
is | |
altogether | |
fitting | |
and | |
proper | |
that | |
we | |
should | |
do | |
this. | |
But, | |
in | |
a | |
larger | |
sense, | |
we | |
can | |
not | |
dedicate -- | |
we | |
can | |
not | |
consecrate -- | |
we | |
can | |
not | |
hallow -- | |
this | |
ground. | |
The | |
brave | |
men, | |
living | |
and | |
dead, | |
who | |
struggled | |
here, | |
have | |
consecrated | |
it, | |
far | |
above | |
our | |
poor | |
power | |
| Words to Type... | Here! |
to | |
add | |
or | |
detract. | |
The | |
world | |
will | |
little | |
note, | |
nor | |
long | |
remember | |
what | |
we | |
say | |
here, | |
but | |
it | |
can | |
never | |
forget | |
what | |
they | |
did | |
here. | |
It | |
is | |
for | |
us | |
the | |
living, | |
rather, | |
to | |
be | |
dedicated | |
here | |
to | |
the | |
unfinished | |
work | |
which | |
they | |
who | |
fought | |
here | |
have | |
| Words to Type... | Here! |
thus | |
far | |
so | |
nobly | |
advanced. | |
It | |
is | |
rather | |
for | |
us | |
to | |
be | |
here | |
dedicated | |
to | |
the | |
great | |
task | |
remaining | |
before | |
us -- | |
that | |
from | |
these | |
honored | |
dead | |
we | |
take | |
increased | |
devotion | |
to | |
that | |
cause | |
for | |
which | |
they | |
gave | |
the | |
last | |
full | |
measure | |
of | |
devotion -- | |
that | |
we | |
here | |
| Words to Type... | Here! |
highly | |
resolve | |
that | |
these | |
dead | |
shall | |
not | |
have | |
died | |
in | |
vain -- | |
that | |
this | |
nation, | |
under | |
God, | |
shall | |
have | |
a | |
new | |
birth | |
of | |
freedom -- | |
and | |
that | |
government | |
of | |
the | |
people, | |
by | |
the | |
people, | |
for | |
the | |
people, | |
shall | |
not | |
perish | |
from | |
the | |
earth. | |
