IT is said the Bedouins cry, on the Syrian hills, a clear Loud summons to War, and the tribes far distant hearken and hear, So wondrous rare is the air, so crystal the atmosphere. Their call is to arms; but One, in the centuries long ago, Spake there for Peace, in tones that were marvelous sweet and low, And the ages they hear Him yet, and His voice do the nations know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
