Explore "The White Cliffs" by Alice Duer Miller on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How beautiful upon the mountains, How beautiful upon the downs, How beautiful in the village post office, On the pavements of towns-- How beautiful in the huge print of newspapers, Beautiful while telegraph wires hum, While telephone bells wildly jingle, The news that peace has come-- That peace has come at last--that all wars cease. How beautiful upon the mountains are the footsteps Of the messengers of peace!
