XIV, NO. 13 PRICE FIVE CENTS Ol1}rtstmus irlls I hea.rd the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And thought how, as th~ day had come·. The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to men 1 Till, ringing, singing on it way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, good-will to men 1 Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, Amtwith dre 'smtft The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men! It was as if an earth-quake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said; "For bate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead; nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail. The Right prevail. With peace on earth, good-will to men!" -Longfellow.
