STILLING THE TEMPEST by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TWAS ALL SHE COULD: - THE GIFT THAT NATURE GAVE
Last Line: "OF PASSION HEARD HIS WHISPER, ""PEACE, BE STILL!"
Subject(s): PEACE;
'Twas all she could: -- The gift that Nature gave,
The torrent of her tresses, did she spill
Before His feet; and lo, the troubled wave
Of passion heard His whisper, "Peace, be still!"
