Peace

Edward Rowland Sill (1841–1887)

’T IS not in seeking,

’T is not in endless striving,

Thy quest is found:

Be still and listen;

Be still and drink the quiet

Of all around.

Not for thy crying,

Not for thy loud beseeching,

Will peace draw near:

Rest with palms folded;

Rest with thine eyelids fallen—

Lo! peace is here.
