Domestic Peace

1. 1Tell me, on what holy ground
2. 2May Domestic Peace be found?
3. 3Halcyon daughter of the skies,
4. 4Far on fearful wings she flies,
5. 5From the pomp of Sceptered State,
6. 6From the Rebel's noisy hate.

1. 7In a cottag'd vale She dwells,
2. 8Listening to the Sabbath bells!
3. 9Still around her steps are seen
4. 10Spotless Honour's meeker mien,
5. 11Love, the sire of pleasing fears,
6. 12Sorrow smiling through her tears,
7. 13And conscious of the past employ
8. 14Memory, bosom-spring of joy.
