William Carlos Williams

Peace on Earth

THE ARCHER is wake!  
The Swan is flying!  
Gold against blue  
An Arrow is lying.  
There is hunting in heaven—          
Sleep safe till tomorrow.  
 
The Bears are abroad!  
The Eagle is screaming!  
Gold against blue  
Their eyes are gleaming!          
Sleep!  
Sleep safe till tomorrow.  
 
The Sisters lie  
With their arms intertwining;  
Gold against blue          
Their hair is shining!  
The Serpent writhes!  
Orion is listening!  
 
Gold against blue  
His sword is glistening!        
Sleep!  
There is hunting in heaven—  
Sleep safe till tomorrow.
