和平的玫瑰

若米迦勒，上帝战队的首领，

当天堂与地狱相合，

向下望见你，从天堂的门楹，

他会将他的功业忘却。

不再沉思上帝的战争，

在他神圣的宅院，

他会用星星织成

一顶戴在你头顶的珠冠。

所有见他向你躬身

而白色星辰将你颂赞的人们，

最终会去到上帝的伟大城镇，

由那温柔路途领引；

上帝会吩咐 他的 战事歇停，

说着一切都安宁；

并轻柔地布下一片玫瑰色的和平，

天堂 与 地狱 的和平。

The Rose of Peace （1892）

If Michael, leader of God's host

When Heaven and Hell are met,

Looked down on you from Heaven's door-post

He would his deeds forget.

Brooding no more upon God's wars

In his divine homestead,

He would go weave out of the stars

A chaplet for your head.

And all folk seeing him bow down,

And white stars tell your praise,

Would come at last to God's great town,

Led on by gentle ways;

And God would bid His warfare cease,

Saying all things were well;

And softly make a rosy peace,

A peace of Heaven with Hell.
