Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Peace
Under this tree, where light and shade
Speckle the grass like a Thrush's breast,
Here, in this green and quiet place,
I give myself to peace and rest.
The peace of my contented mind,
That is to me a wealth untold –
When the Moon has no more silver left,
And the Sun's at the end of his gold.
