First Line: At peace the poppies and the hyacinth bloom
Last Line: Till man shall walk with sunlight on his face!
Subject(s): Nature


At peace the poppies and the hyacinth bloom
While snow still swirls upon the wintry air,
The garden shrubs and trees are stark and bare
The sun pours warmly in to flood my room.
Is it true that half the world is lost in gloom?
These radiant flowers give forth a perfume rare;
Across the seas they blossom, even where
The nations tremble on the brink of doom.

Cannot the trees, the greening lawn, the sky,
Flecked with white clouds in depths of azure blue,
Pour forth a paean to the Power Most High
That mercy may be shed on all men do?
Informing minds and hearts with Nature's grace,
Till man shall walk with sunlight on his face!
