+This is the Arsenal.  From floor to ceiling,
+  Like a huge organ, rise the burnished arms;
+But front their silent pipes no anthem pealing
+  Startles the villages with strange alarms.
+
+Ah! what a sound will rise, how wild and dreary,
+  When the death-angel touches those swift keys
+What loud lament and dismal Miserere
+  Will mingle with their awful symphonies
+
+I hear even now the infinite fierce chorus,
+  The cries of agony, the endless groan,
+Which, through the ages that have gone before us,
+  In long reverberations reach our own.
+
+On helm and harness rings the Saxon hammer,
+  Through Cimbric forest roars the Norseman's song,
+And loud, amid the universal clamor,
+O'er distant deserts sounds the Tartar gong.
+
+I hear the Florentine, who from his palace
+  Wheels out his battle-bell with dreadful din,
+And Aztec priests upon their teocallis
+  Beat the wild war-drums made of serpent's skin;
+
+The tumult of each sacked and burning village;
+  The shout that every prayer for mercy drowns;
+The soldiers' revels in the midst of pillage;
+  The wail of famine in beleaguered towns;
+
+The bursting shell, the gateway wrenched asunder,
+  The rattling musketry, the clashing blade;
+And ever and anon, in tones of thunder,
+  The diapason of the cannonade.
+
+Is it, O man, with such discordant noises,
+  With such accursed instruments as these,
+Thou drownest Nature's sweet and kindly voices,
+  And jarrest the celestial harmonies?
+
+Were half the power, that fills the world with terror,
+  Were half the wealth, bestowed on camps and courts,
+Given to redeem the human mind from error,
+  There were no need of arsenals or forts:
+
+The warrior's name would be a name abhorred!
+  And every nation, that should lift again
+Its hand against a brother, on its forehead
+  Would wear forevermore the curse of Cain!
+
+Down the dark future, through long generations,
+  The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease;
+And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations,
+  I hear once more the voice of Christ say, "Peace!"
+
+Peace! and no longer from its brazen portals
+  The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies!
+But beautiful as songs of the immortals,
+  The holy melodies of love arise.
