BEYOND THE WALLS OF PEACE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: If you should meet with one who strays
Last Line: The walls of peace.
Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs.
Subject(s): Peace


IF you should meet with one who strays
Beyond the walls of peace,
Who spends the passion of his days
In dreams that never cease,
Oh yell him that the outcast ways
Find no release.

If you should look into his eyes,
And see the shadow there
Of his dear City's towers and skies,
Where once his heart lay bare,
Oh tell him those who are most wise
Their vision spare.

If you should see him turn and wait,
Fast bound by his desire,
Beyond the walls disconsolate,
In dreams that never tire,
Oh tell him that the city gate
Is barred by fire.

No other torches shall divide
The roads for his release,
Oh tell him they stretch dark and wide,
Long roads that never cease,
If you should meet with one outside
The walls of peace.
