Lincoln's White House: the people's house in wartime

The painful sense of becoming educated

A strange mixture of enthusiasm and greed

Plain and simple in its appointments

A miscellaneous assortment of life and character

The White House is turned into barracks

It is good to look at beauty once in a while

Ink stained and work worn

The Republican queen in her white palace

This is a God forsaken hole

Flub dubs for that damned old house

My public opinion baths

Bright jewels and bright eyes

Not an American crime

Bundles and bales

Like so many greenhead flies

Crazy and poetry

I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House

And everything seemed to weep.
