Peaceable Kingdom |
A leopard with a harmless kid lay down |
And not one savage beast was seen to frown |
The wolf did with the lamb can dwell in peace |
His grim carnivorous nature there did cease |
The lion with the fatling awn did move |
And a little child was leading them in love |
Long ago there was a young painter |
Who had a dream that every creature came |
And stood assembled by his side |
And he painted the sight that had sweetened his night |
For the one hundred times before he died |
A kid lion and a snake and a child |
Wide-eyed and formal and smiling like the sun had stopped |
And time had ceased to move |
And the wolf and the lamb |
Came and ate from his hand |
And a man-child was leading them in love |
Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces |
The colors that the old painter sees |
In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces |
Of people from more gentle times than these |
I find myself adrift these days |
And endless maze of ends and ways |
And worlds seem so crazy to be here |
But look away look away |
Back or forward from today |
To the visions of either fools or sears |
Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces |
The colors that the old painter sees |
In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces |
Of people from more gentle times than these |
Such a beautiful place |
Full of joy full of grace |
It was bathed in our saintly yellow lie |
To what learning to know that such things can’t be so |
He could only believe that they might |
Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces |
The colors that the old painter sees |
In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces |
Of people from more gentle times than these |
Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces |
The colors that the young painter sees |
In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces |
Of people from more gentle times than these |
