WHY NOW THIS PEACE?

Why now this peace,
in this soft and gentle night,
here now at ease,
in the glow of candle light.

No war inside,
no battle to lose or win,
all struggle over,
so tender the peace within.

A peace to last,
all the armies in retreat,
no drums nor cries,
I hear but gentle music sweet.

Come now this peace,
and cover me in loving light,
in glad surrender,
and lift me now in tender flight.
