THE DAWN OF PEACE.


Put off. put off your mail, o kings,
And beat your brands TO dust!
Your hands must learn surer grasp,
Your hearts better trust.
o, bend aback the lance's point
And break the helmet bar;
A noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war.
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The glittering hosts increase
They GOMEZ They come! How fair thei
feet
They come to publish peace
And victory. fair victory
Our enemies are ours;
For all the clouds are ciasped in light
And all the earth with flowers.
Aye, still depressed and dim with dew,
But wait little while,
And with the radiant deathless rose
The wilderness shalt smile.
And every tender, living thing
Shall feed by streams of rest;
Nor lamb shall from the flock be lost,
Nor nursing from the nest.
