Страница 105 - Ah ! when shall all men's good Be each man's rule, and universal Peace Lie like a shaft of light across the land, And like a lane of beams athwart the sea, Thro' all the circle of the golden year?
Страница 80 - When the war-drum throbs no longer, And the battle-flags are furled In the parliament of man, The federation of the world.
