[Written for the Sentinel]

Peace

ANITA GRAY LITTLE

Why need one struggle in the dark?
Truth's way is plain to see,
Wisdom's light is infinite
And righteousness is free!

Yet mortals blindly fight along
Earth's dream-bound paths of sense,
Unmindful of true brotherhood
And Love's great recompense.

Ere long 'tis suffering halts their pace;
They pause to grumble, "Why?"
And through the darkness of the night
Is heard the Christ's reply:

Peace, peace, be still, and lo,
The truth shall make thee free
To serve no other gods but God;
And Love thy law shall be.

One need not struggle in the dark;
Truth's way is paved with light.
One cannot fail to win true peace
When he but serves the right.
