The Message of Peace
Hid the din of Little cease! Folded he the wings of fire! 1 ot your courage oonqu r peace,— Every gentle heart’s desire. Let the crimson flood retreat, Hlended in the arc of love ; Let the flags 01 nations meet, Hind the raven, looss the dove. At the altar hat we rai*o King and kaiser may how down ; Warrior-knights above their hays Wear the aacred olive crown Blin ’itig passion is subdued; Men dise rn their omuion birth. God hath made of kindred hlo d All the peoples of the earth. High and holy an* the gifts lie has lavished on the race,— Hope that quickens, prayer that lifts Honour’s meed and beauty’s grace. As in Heaven’s bright face we look Let our kindling s uls expand ; Let iis pledge, on Nature’s hook, H art to heart and han I to hand. For the glory that we saw In the battle-flag unfurled Let us read Chri-t’s better law: Fellowship for all the w rid! —Julia ITu-d lloioe, in S 8. Tones
