An internecine war,
Surely the God OF Love viii intcrpOse
And by his power prevent the heinous
Where brothers meet in wars embrace as
Theirs be the blame who would the strife
To gorge their cruel hearts in battles
Oh shame on Christians, who resort to
blows,
And bar Loves door!
Is there no better way
Than flying at each others threats to
our hands in gore? No surer road to
fame
Than trampling DER tho dead. where
women weep,
And countless orphans our compassion
claim?
on us ana ours will fall the vengeful
flame
Of retribution. when We rise from sleep.
ON judgment day.
Imagination brings
To light the hosts i'm battles grim array:
We hear the shouts the dying soldiers
grOdns,
And strive 10 tear our tortured hearts
away
From childrens screams and widows
Alas such sounds the end not long
For Ger them flap in concert night and
day
Deaths sable wings
Shall We stand idly by.
Nor check the sin that would commit
the State
TO wholesale crime at the behest Of fools.
Who don the garn OF patriJts. while
hate
And Jealousy arc the Internal tools
OF such poor, senseless. and inhuman
ghouls,
Scattered amongst MS by the hand OF
fate.
We don't know why.
Let Reason reign.
May Christian love our aim and watch

Seek We cstranccd relations 20 restore.
And lead them back 90 peace and amity.
Let generous deeds eclipse the cannon's
roar
And CHASTITY scenes inHamc our minds no

Oh. may. our hearts from that deep curse
be free.
A bloody stain!
