quiet — and yet a
voice forever against the
timeless walls of time
Let’s go see old Abe
Sitting in the marble and the moonlight,
Sitting lonely in the marble and the moonlight,
Quiet for ten thousand centuries, old Abe.
Quiet for a million, million centuries.
Quiet — and yet a voice forever
Against the timeless walls of time,
Old Abe.
