CONCLUSION
Longfellow’s words keep running through my mind.
I heard the bells on Christmas day,
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet,
The words repeat,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom,
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And, in despair I bowed my head,
There is no peace on earth I said.
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
God is not dead nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.
