By Edna Dean Proctor“Peace and remembrance!”
P
Of Israel’s line his brothers are—
Leader and prophet, priest and king;
Aye, and the bright and morning star!

Order from chaos, light from gloom
He brought, and banished narrowing fears.
Whose fame transcends their poor degree!
His deeds are noblest monument;
His life is immortality!
