O Peace, thou fairest child of heav'n

Language: English

O Peace, thou fairest child of heav'n,
To whom the sylvan scene was given,
The vale, the fountain, and the grove,
With ev'ry softer scene of love,
Return, sweet Peace, and cheer the weeping swain,
Return with ease and pleasure in thy train.


Input by John Glenn Paton
