When there is peace
Language: English
There is peace on the sea to-night Thought the fish in the white wave: There is peace among the stars to-night Thought the sleeper in the grave: There is peace in my heart to-night Sighed Love beneath his breath; For God dreamed in the silence of His might Amid the earthquakes of death.
