THE TRUCE OF GOD.
A KING'S BEQUEST,
What darkness deep as Wintry gloom
O'erabadows joyous Springf In vain the vernal orchards bloom,
Vainly the woodlands sing.
Round Royal shroud
A mournful crowd
Is all new left of One, but yesterday
King II.
Thrones have there been of hateful fama,
Keared upon wanton war:
Ho we have lost still·linked his name
With peace, at home, afar,
For peace He wronglit,"
His constant thought
Being how to shield his Bealm against
atrife's baleful star..
TIL.
So let us now all seek to wrest From fateful fonda retense, And, mindful of his wise bequest, From factions.elamours coaVO:
Treading the path He trod, The sacred Truse of God, The path that points and leade to
patriotic Peace.
