Beautiful is gold, most beautiful of all metals. <br />Beautiful is alabaster and the airy crystals; <br />Beautiful is light, when the sun is about to set, <br />Beautiful is ivory and the rosy red coral; <br />Beautiful is May, with its countless flowers, <br />Beautiful is the sheer cloth with its prize of sores; <br />But that which must carry above all the crown— <br />Beautiful is Peace, most beautiful thing on Earth!—<br /><br />Jacobus Revius<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-125/
