Consolation.
43
And war, and strife, and hatred, shall be past,
And misery a forgotten dream.
The Shepherd God shall lead his peaceful fold
By the calm meadows and quiet stream.
Be still, be still, and know that he is God;
Be calm, be trustful; work, and watch, and pray,
Till from the throes of this last anguish rise
The light and gladness of that better day.
