The following poem written in 1814 by eleven-year-old Esther Talbot inspired me to open up peacethings for poetry submissions.

Come Gentle Peace

Come gentle peace, with smiling ray,
Beam on our land a cloudless day;
Beneath thy influence serene,
The olive wears immortal green.
Come, gentle Peace, resume they reign,
With all thy virtues in thy train;
And then Columbia's soil shall grow
As verdant Paradise below.

Esther Talbot, April 4, 1814
