Peace
n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.
O, what’s the loud uproar assailing Mine ears without cease? ’Tis the voice of the hopeful, all-hailing The horrors of peace.
Ah, Peace Universal; they woo it — Would marry it, too. If only they knew how to do it ’Twere easy to do.
They’re working by night and by day On their problem, like moles. Have mercy, O Heaven, I pray, On their meddlesome souls!
