  4. Lincoln’s Dream: “There seemed a death-like stillness about me. I heard quiet sobs, as if a number of people were weeping…I went from room to room; not a living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds followed me…I kept on until I arrived at the East Room. There, I had a sickening surprise. Before me was a coffin, on which rested a corpse. People stood around, gazing mournfully and weeping pitifully. ‘Who is dead in the White House?’ I asked. ‘The President,’ was the answer, ‘he was killed by an assassin!’”

  6. O Captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xo3blg_walt-whitman-o-captain-my-captain-vincent-price_creation O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;The ship is anchor'dsafe and sound, its voyage closed and done;From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!But I, with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.
