Peace, gentle Peace, who, smiling through thy tears, Returnest, when the sounds of war are dumb, Replenishing the bruised and broken earth, And lifting motherly her shattered form; When comest thou? Our brethren long for thee. Thou dost restore the darkened light of home, Give back the father to his children’s arms; Thou driest tenderly the mourner’s tears, And all thy face is lit with holy light;— Our earth is fain for thee! Return and come!
