"president lincoln’s declaration of emancipation, january 1, 1863" 1 it shall flash through coming ages, 2 it shall light the distant years; 3 and eyes now dim with sorrow 4 shall be brighter through their tears. 5 it shall flush the mountain ranges, 6 and the valleys shall grow bright; 7 it shall bathe the hills in radiance, 8 and crown their brows with light. 9 it shall flood with golden splendor 10 all the huts of caroline; 11 and the sun-kissed brow of labor 12 with lustre new shall shine. 13 it shall gild the gloomy prison, 14 darkened by the nation's crime, 15 where the dumb and patient millions 16 wait the better-coming time. 17 by the light that gilds their prison 18 they shall see its mouldering key; 19 and the bolts and bars shall vibrate 20 with the triumphs of the free. 21 though the morning seemed to linger 22 o'er the hill-tops far away, 23 now the shadows bear the promise 24 of the quickly coming day. 25 soon the mists and murky shadows 26 shall be fringed with crimson light, 27 and the glorious dawn of freedom 28 break refulgent on the sight. 1. in the first stanza, which lines rhyme?
