A Tooth upon Our Peace 1
The Peace cannot deface-
Then Wherefore be the Tooth?
To vitalize the Grace-
The Heaven hath a Hell-5
Itself to signalize-
And every sign before the Place
Is Gilt with Sacrifice-
The Peace cannot deface-
Then Wherefore be the Tooth?
To vitalize the Grace-
The Heaven hath a Hell-5
Itself to signalize-
And every sign before the Place
Is Gilt with Sacrifice-
