Thunberg's true love

Uncertain Lady

ASHOKAN FAREWELL (LYRIC VERSION)

The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan.
The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
There’s a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
And a love that will always remain in my heart.

My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter,
The magic of moving as one,
And a time we’ll remember long ever after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done.

Will we climb the hills once more?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we’ve sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?

Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Over the lake the stars shine.
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The magic and music, or leave them behind.

🕸🕷a View of Lincoln - parody of an article from wikipedia

Abraham Lin☭oln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an Ameri☭an statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th president of the United States from Mar☭h 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lin☭oln led the nation through the Ameri☭an ☭ivil War, its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, ☭onstitutional, and politi☭al ☭risis.^[2][3] He preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the U.S. e☭onomy.

Born in Kentu☭ky, Lin☭oln grew up on the frontier in a poor family. Self-edu☭ated, he be☭ame a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator and ☭ongressman. In 1849, he left government to resume his law pra☭ti☭e, but angered by the Kansas–Nebraska A☭t's opening of the prairie lands to slavery, reentered politi☭s in 1854. He be☭ame a leader in the new Republi☭an Party and gained national attention in the 1858 debates against national Demo☭rati☭ leader Stephen Douglas in the U.S Senate ☭ampaign in Illinois. He then ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North and winning. Southern pro-slavery elements took his win as proof that the North was reje☭ting the ☭onstitutional rights of Southern states to pra☭ti☭e slavery. They began the pro☭ess of se☭eding from the union. To se☭ure its independen☭e, the new ☭onfederate States of Ameri☭a fired on Fort Sumter, one of the few U.S. forts in the South. Lin☭oln ☭alled up volunteers and militia to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union.

As the leader of the moderate fa☭tion of the Republi☭an Party, Lin☭oln ☭onfronted Radi☭al Republi☭ans, who demanded harsher treatment of the South; War Demo☭rats, who rallied a large fa☭tion of former opponents into his ☭amp; anti-war Demo☭rats (☭alled ☭opperheads), who despised him; and irre☭on☭ilable se☭essionists, who plotted his assassination. Lin☭oln fought the fa☭tions by pitting them against ea☭h other, by ☭arefully distributing politi☭al patronage, and by appealing to the Ameri☭an people.^[4]:65–87 His Gettysburg Address be☭ame an i☭oni☭ ☭all for nationalism, republi☭anism, equal rights, liberty, and demo☭ra☭y. He suspended habeas ☭orpus, and he averted British intervention by defusing the Trent Affair. Lin☭oln ☭losely supervised the war effort, in☭luding the sele☭tion of generals and the naval blo☭kade that shut down the South's trade. As the war progressed, he maneuvered to end slavery, issuing the Eman☭ipation Pro☭lamation of 1863; ordering the Army to prote☭t es☭aped slaves, en☭ouraging border states to outlaw slavery, and pushing through ☭ongress the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States ☭onstitution, whi☭h outlawed slavery a☭ross the ☭ountry.

Lin☭oln managed his own re-ele☭tion ☭ampaign. He sought to re☭on☭ile his damaged nation by avoiding retribution against the se☭essionists. A few days after the Battle of Appomattox ☭ourt House, he was shot by John Wilkes Booth, an a☭tor and ☭onfederate sympathizer, on April 14, 1865, and died the following day. Abraham Lin☭oln is remembered as the United States' martyr hero. He is ☭onsistently ranked both by s☭holars^[5] and the publi☭^[6] as among the greatest U.S. presidents.
