"The Prince of Peace"

FRANCES A. HALDANE

He comes! The world may clamor as it will,And war's wild tumult sound its loud alarms,Till nation after nation hears the shrillInsistent echoing, "To arms! To arms!"He comes! Already that fair morning's charms,When Spirit's mandate bade the darkness flee,Unfold, dispersing every mist that harms,And fear that gendereth dread enmity.
