by William Sharp (1855 - 1905), as Fiona Macleod

The White Peace
Language: English 
It lies not on the sunlit hill
    Nor on the sunlit plain :
Nor ever on any running stream
    Nor on the unclouded main --

But sometimes, through the Soul of Man,
    Slow moving o'er his pain,
The moonlight of a perfect peace
    Floods heart and brain.
