We are met+on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion+of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their+lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper+that we should do this.++But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate --+we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who+struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or+detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,+but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living,+rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who+fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be+here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these+honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave+the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that+these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God,+shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people,+by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
