IN PEACE.


A Martyrs Tomb in the Catacombs.
In peace" one wrote above thee through
his tears,
While overhead Rome Numbered death
and doom;
The fading line for eighteen hundred years
Has faced the darkness marshaled round
thy tomb
In peace. Through stormy ways thy spirit
came
Unto the silence of thine haven here;
IL peace thou sleepest, whom the flood or
fame
Swept home to rest beyond the reach of
fear.
In pe ace. The sudden sound of trumpet
Tie swarm of savage hordes by land and
sea.
The crash of kingdoms swaying to their
fall
The rending earth have all been peace to
In peace. Before the patience craven there
Our faithless lips grow dumb. our faint
hearts bow.
God give us strength like thine the strife
to bear,
And peace beyond the strife to find as
thou!
