conceived
and so
dedicated,
can long
endure. We
are met on
a great
battlefield
of that
war. We
have come
to
dedicate a
portion of
that field
as a final
resting-place
for those
who gave
their
lives that
Nation
might
live. It
is
altogether
fitting
and proper
that we
should do
this. But,
in a
larger
sense, we
cannot
dedicate,
we cannot
consecrate,
we cannot
hallow
this
ground.
The brave
men,
living and
dead, who
struggled
here, have
consecrated
it far
