Peace

 The following outlook toward universal peace was written by George Frederick Knowles:

Peace
When navies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things,
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagle's wings;

When memory of battles
At last is strange and old,
When nations have one banner
And creeds have found one fold;

When the Hand that sprinkles midnight
With its powdered drifts of suns
Has hushed this tiny tumult 
Of sects and swords and guns;

Then hate's last note of discord
In all God's worlds shall cease,
In the conquest which is service,
In the victory which is peace.
