| brought forth on this continent a new nation, | ||
| proposition that all men are created equal. | ||
| testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. | ||
| great battlefield of that war. | ||
| resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. | ||
| proper that we should do this. | ||
| we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground | ||
| here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. | ||
| long remember what we say here, | ||
| what they did here. | ||
| here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. | ||
| that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion | ||
| that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, | ||
| by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. |
