“
All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
It is the Truce of God! Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free. Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
