- 1 “With malice toward none, with charity for all,
- 2 with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,
- 3 let us strive on to finish the work we are in,
- 4 to bind up the nation’s wounds,
- 5 to care for him who shall have borne the battle
- 6 and for his widow and his orphan,
- 7 to do all which may achieve and cherish a just
- 8 and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
