O Colum and monks of Christ It is peace we are having this night: Sure, peace is a good thing, And I am glad with the gladness. We worship one God, Though ye call him Dè— And I say not, O Dia! But cry Bea'uil! For it is one faith for man, And one for the living world, And no man is wiser than another— And none knoweth much. None knoweth a better thing than this: The Sword, Love, Song, Honour, Sleep. None knoweth a surer thing than this: Birth, Sorrow, Pain, Weariness, Death. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PORTRAIT OF MY ROOF by JAMES GALVIN TOM O'ROUGHLEY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS A TRIBUTE OF GRASSES by HAMLIN GARLAND VERSES WRITTEN IN AN ALBUM OF A LADY'S COMMON-PLACE BOOK by THOMAS MOORE AGAMEMNON: HELEN.
