WHEN THERE IS PEACE by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: THERE IS PEACE ON THE SEA TONIGHT
Last Line: AMID THE EARTHQUAKES OF DEATH.
Subject(s): DEATH; DREAMS; FISH & FISHING; GOD; LOVE; PEACE; DEAD, THE; NIGHTMARES;
There is peace on the sea to-night
Thought the fish in the white wave:
There is peace among the stars to-night
Thought the sleeper in the grave:

There is peace in my heart to-night
Sighed Love beneath his breath;
For God dreamed in the silence of His might
Amid the earthquakes of death.
