To hush the world of peace bereft-

Again the shell-torn hills will be

In love once more with earth and sun.

And birds now stunned by the red up

|Tll build in happy boughs once
And to the bleak uncounted graves
The grass will run in silken waves;

On tortured plain and mountain wall,
Now wild with cries of battling hosts
AHN curses VI TIE 4IeelnS ghosts.
And men will wonder over it
This upflamins of the Pit;
And they will gather as friends and
say,
Come. let us try the Masters way.
Ages we tried the way of swords,
PAnd earth is weary of hostile hordes.
