Classic and Contemporary Poetry


AD ASTRA: 88 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: PEACE AND GOODWILL TOWARD MEN HE CAME TO TEACH
Last Line: BE RULED IN PRESENCE OF THE ETERNAL LIGHT!
Subject(s): BROTHERHOOD; GOD; LOVE;

Peace and Goodwill toward men He came to teach—
A Universal Brotherhood in Christ—
Of Time when Love shall mitigate war's breach,
And nations in leagued amity subsist,—
Of Law that shall for ever co-exist
With God—and our conceptions of the right
Be ruled in presence of the Eternal Light!
