History prefers legends to
men
It prefers nobility to
brutality
Soaring speeches to quiet
deeds
History rem embers the battle
And forgets the blood
Whatever history rem embers
of me
If it rem embers anything at
all
It shall only be
A fraction of the truth
For whatever else I am
A husband, a lawyer...
A president...
I shall always think of
myself
As a man who struggled
against darkness
I leave in your trusted
hands,
My dear friend henry.
Adieu!!!
As I breathe my last breathe
Adieu!... Adieu! Adieu!
