GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 1863,11 19.
Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon 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 battlefield 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 large sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here, have consecrated it far beyond 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 and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
1）Old Black Joe
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay. Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away. Gone from the earth to a better land I know. I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.
I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low. I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.
2）Waltz
Candles burning, lamps gleaming, all aglow. Music playing, dancers swaying, to and fro. While we walk together, let me whisper low. Tender words to you, sweet heart, for I love you.

（10）学唱英文歌曲不失为一种学习英语的辅助方法，我在上大学时看过一本“”世界名歌100首，学习了几首。依稀记忆，附上两首歌词，如有错误，请勿见笑。
1）Old Black Joe
