Peace

by Georgia Douglas Johnson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/georgia-douglas-johnson_poetry

Peace on a thousand hills and dales, Peace in the hearts of men While kindliness reclaims the soil Where bitterness has been.
The night of strife is drifting past, The storm of shell has ceased, Disrupted is the cordon fell, Sweet charity released.
Forth from the shadow, swift we come Wrought in the flame together, All men as one beneath the sun In brotherhood forever.
