“I heard the bells on Christmas Day<br> | ||
Their old, familiar carols play,<br> | ||
And wild and sweet<br> | ||
The words repeat<br> | ||
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br> | ||
|
||
And thought how, as the day had come,<br> | ||
The belfries of all Christendom<br> | ||
Had rolled along<br> | ||
The unbroken song<br> | ||
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br> | ||
|
||
Till ringing, singing on its way,<br> | ||
The world revolved from night to day,<br> | ||
A voice, a chime,<br> | ||
A chant sublime<br> | ||
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br> | ||
|
||
And in despair I bowed my head;<br> | ||
"There is no peace on earth," I said;<br> | ||
"For hate is strong,<br> | ||
And mocks the song<br> | ||
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"<br> | ||
|
||
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:<br> | ||
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;<br> | ||
The Wrong shall fail,<br> | ||
The Right prevail,<br> | ||
With peace on earth, good-will to men." | ||
|
||
H.W. Longfellow | ||
