PEACE AT NOON.

Arthur Symons

HERE there is peace, cool peace, Upon these heights, beneath these trees; Almost the peace of sleep or death, To wearying brain, to labouring breath.

Here there is rest at last, A sweet forgetting of the past; There is no future here, nor aught Save this soft healing pause of thought.
