PEACE, peace, broken heart, peace!
All these grievous things must cease,
They will drop off one by one
Like ripe fruit in a quiet sun.
Thine enemies shall be no more,
Thy mockers will forget their lore,
The flowers from the mead will die
And God's great hands will break the sky.
Nothing that's evil but will cease
Under His whisper of Peace, Peace.
All shall drop off one by one
Like ripe fruit in a quiet sun ...
Yea, e'en thy cruel Love will lie
A dead thing beneath a dead sky.
