Текст песни: The Gettysburg Address + перевод

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, 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 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 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 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 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.
