THE goodness of the heart is shown in deeds Of peacefulness and kindness. Hand heart Are one thing with the good, as thou shouldst be. Do my words trouble thee? then treasure them. Pain overgot gives peace, as death doth Heaven. All things that speak of Heaven speak of peace. Peace hath more might than war; high brows are calm; Great thoughts are still as stars; and truths, like suns, Stir not, but many systems tend around them. Mind's step is still as Death's; and all great things Which cannot be controll'd, whose end is good. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KU KLUX by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN LITTLE JESUS by FRANCIS THOMPSON THE THREE HERMITS by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE TRANSLATED WAY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS ANNA BULLEN, ACT 1: SHORT CURSE by JOHN BANKS (17TH CENTURY-) SPRING'S IMMORTALITY by H.
