Peace 
With eager hearts and will on fire, I 
Strove to win my hearts desire. Peace 
shall be mine, I said, but life grew 
bitter in the barren strife. My soul was 
weary, and my pride was wounded deep; 
to Heaven I cried, God grant me peace 
or I must die; the dumb star glittered 
no reply. Broken at last, I bowed my 
head, forgetting all myself, and said. 
Where ever come. His Will be done, 
and in that moment peace was won.
