He formed no plans Of warfare. high
explosives to employ.
He never staged a knockout for the

Much wiser than most men, and yet

He wished no fellow man the slight

Afar from petty rivalries, his little
book he read,
While others viewed the future with
alarm.
And when it came his turn to act. he
kept level head
And wished no fellow man the

Above the wreckage that was left In
bitter days gone by,
He sought path far distant from the

He left the earth behind and made a

And wished no fellow man the
