PEACE AT NOON by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE THERE IS PEACE, COOL PEACE
Last Line: SAVE THIS SOFT HEALING PAUSE OF THOUGHT.
Subject(s): PEACE;
Here there is peace, cool peace,
Upon these heights, beneath these trees;
Almost the peace of sleep or death,
To wearying brain, to labouring breath.

Here there is rest at last,
A sweet forgetting of the past;
There is no future here, nor aught
Save this soft healing pause of thought.
