    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    “And in despair I bowed my head;
    "There is no peace on earth," I said;
    "For hate 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!”
    ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
