PEACE by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: NOT WITH THE HIGH-VOICED FIFE
Last Line: SHALL COME THE PERFECT PEACE!
Subject(s): PATRIOTISM; PEACE;
Not with the high-voiced fife,
Nor with the deep-voiced drum,
To mark the end of strife
The perfect Peace shall come.

Nor pomp nor pageant grand
Shall bring War's blest surcease,
But silent, from God's hand
Shall come the perfect Peace!
