Edgar Guest - PeaceEdgar Guest - Peace
Work rating: Low


A man must earn his hour of peace,   Must pay for it with hours of strife and care, Must win by toil the evening`s sweet release,   The rest that may be portioned for his share; The idler never knows it, never can.   Peace is the glory ever of a man. A man must win contentment for his soul,   Must battle for it bravely day by day; The peace he seeks is not a near-by goal;   To claim it he must tread a rugged way. The shirker never knows a tranquil breast;   Peace but rewards the man who does his best.
