LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY, by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY First Line: O god, within whose sight Last Line: God, send us peace! Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
O God, within whose sight All men have equal right To worship Thee, Break every bar that holds Thy flock in diverse folds! Thy Will from none withholds Full liberty. Lord, set Thy Churches free From foolish rivalry! Lord, set us free! Let all past bitterness Now and for ever cease, And all our souls possess Thy charity! Lord, set the people free! Let all men draw to Thee In unity! Thy temple courts are wide, Therein let all abide In peace, and side by side, Serve only Thee! God, grant us now Thy peace! Bid all dissensions cease! God, send us peace! Peace in True Liberty, Peace in Equality, Peace and Fraternity, God, send us peace! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A NEW EARTH by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY |
