<span class="i0">Like old Sebastian Bach, who went alone,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Working, unnoticed, with a single aim,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">He lived and moved amongst you all unknown;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">You gave him neither honour nor civic fame;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">No Freedom of your city crowned his head;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">No recognition of his genius came:<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But—-<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Citizens of Lincoln—-<br/></span>
<span class="i0">I tell you that your greatest citizen is dead!<br/></span>
