The US Library of Congress has launched an interesting site called “Presidents as Poets“, which has information about the following men:

• George Washington
• James Madison
• John Quincy Adams
• Abraham Lincoln
• Jimmy Carter

The collection includes an infamous poem attributed to Lincoln:

To ease me of this power to think,
That through my bosom raves,
I’ll headlong leap from hell’s high brink,
And wallow in its waves.
