CHRISTMAS PEACE

Peace on earth, good will to all mankind
An angel. thus spake to a weary world.
That, since, through centuries have whirled
In madness, envy, bitter strife;
Fen war, with scarlet carnage has held sway
On face Of natures beauty since that day.
And to its trail OF death and sorrow, lent
A discomfort, that shoulders and upheaveB
In turmoil over every land;
Yet, peace is on the earth and good will, too
II we but gaze into the cloudless blue.
Or at the tw!ntling stars at night.
A rose, a blade OF grass. a face
Lit with an heavenly light,
And beaming bright with an unsullied love,
And seeing these things. fix OUR thoughts a0ovS
From whence they came and In His name
An humble duplication make,
And for His sake, Cause discomfort to cease,
We, from this yuletldc on. shall have that peace
