PEACE by BHARTRIHARI

First Line: COURAGE, MY SON! NOW TO THE SILENT WOOD
Last Line: NOR ECHO THROUGH OUR PEACE.
Subject(s): COURAGE; PEACE; VALOR; BRAVERY;
COURAGE, my Soul! now to the silent wood
Alone we wander, there to seek our food
In the wild fruits, and woo our dreamless sleep
On soft boughs gathered deep.

There loud authority in folly bold,
And tongues that stammer with disease of gold,
And murmur of the windy world shall cease,
Nor echo through our peace.
