i I SPEAK NOW FOR PEACE iA
-
-
Lady of Light and our best woman and queenB
Stand now for peace though anger breaks your heartC
Though naught but smoke and flame and drowning is seenB
-
Lady of Light speak though you speak aloneD
Though your voice may seem as a dove's in this howling floodE
It is heard to night by every senate and throneD
-
Though the widening battle of millions and millions of menF
Threatens to night to sweep the whole of the earthG
Back of the smoke is the promise of kindness againF
-
-
i II TOLSTOI IS PLOWING YET iA
-
Tolstoi is plowing yet When the smoke clouds breakH
High in the sky shines a field as wide as the worldI
There he toils for the Kingdom of Heaven's sakeH
-
Ah he is taller than clouds of the little earthG
Only the congress of planets is over himJ
And the arching path where new sweet stars have birthG
-
Wearing his peasant dress his head bent lowK
Tolstoi that angel of Peace is plowing yetL
Forward across the field his horses goK
