" 64 PEACE roEirs. And mother and child, to the farthest vale, Eejoiced in the sound of that sweeping gale " Earth below, and heaven above, Teach us ever to live in love. " OLD REUBEN. " Is the scythe ready, Simon? Just put it on the stone. That it may cut with keenness The clover fuUy grown. I've had no other helper Since Charlie went to sea, A-fighting in the frigate ; So come and mow with me. ' * If peace were always practiced, Abroad and at the board, We should not need the soldier, "W"e sh...ould not need the sword. More useful is the plougher, "Within the rural glen. And he who moweth clover. Than he who moweth men. " Be this thy maxim, Simon, — That sword and spear shall cease, And men of every coloiu' Shall bind the sheaf of Peace. GEANNY LEE. 65 Then trumps unheard by mortal Shall on the heights be blown, And glow along the valleys A glory yet unknown. " The time is speeding, Simon, When strength will yield to worth, And the delicious olive Shall flourish o'er the earth. Then charity shall conquer.
