FOR PEACE

                                 FOR     PEACE
The sun he bade a farewell warm,
The  wind she sang a  verse,
Golden the sky , golden the lake,
Golden was our  universe.


The breeze was fresh and  fragrant,
having come through gardens bright,
All nature bloomed in harmony
as day melted into night.


he  heavens were  washed  in honey,
by some fairy's magical  wand-
But the  twittering birds, homeward  bound,
Flew  to some lovelier land.


Lovlier, yes, that faraway land,
still more than our golden earth ,
For there dwelt peace and  harmony,
for there dwelt love and mirth.


Here, as the viel if darkness fell,
fading out the vibrant glow,
inspite of all the beauty
there was hatred , pain and  woe.


Who listens to the bird that sings?
Who smiles as nature  thrives?
Too full we are with the hatred now,
Too busuy  uprooting  lives.


When shall we learn to live in peace,
under the sun kissed sky?
When shall we make  our lovely world,
lovelier: when  shall we try?


Oh !  that shall be the prettiest day,
when we  understand the  dove,
When we , grateful of life and birth,
shall bask in his golden love.
