PEACE.
What was the first prophetic word that rang When down the starry sky the angels sang, That night they came as envoys of die Birth— What word but peace, “Pence and goodwill on earth?” And what was the last word the Master said That parting night when they broke brother-bread, That night he knew men would not let him live— Oh, what but “peace I leave” and “peace I give.” And yet behold; near twiie a thousand years, And still the battle-wrath, the grief. the tears. Let merry speed the* hour when sw. rds shall cease, And men cry, back to God. “There shall be peace.” Edward Markham in the “Nautilus.”
