Citizens, fellow citizens
The endless campaign is done
The nation has weathered every storm
And Donald Trump has won.

Not a trumpet sounds
But a mournful dirge is played
And on these capitol steps
Truth and decency are laid.

The message and some words are borrowed from Walt Whitman's very moving poem about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln-----
Oh Captain, My Captain
Our fearful trip is done-------

I hope that Walt will forgive me.
