English Poetry. Henry Van Dyke. The Price of Peace. Генри Ван Дайк.

Henry Van Dyke (Генри Ван Дайк)

The Price of Peace

Peace without Justice is a low estate,--
A coward cringing to an iron Fate!
But Peace through Justice is the great ideal,--
We’ll pay the price of war to make it real.

2. The Wind of Sorrow
3. Spring in the South
4. The Window
5. Urbs Coronata
