GIVE THE HAGUE A CHANDE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Rome was not fashioned in a day
Last Line: So give the hague a chance.
Subject(s): Hague, Netherlands; Peace


Rome was not fashioned in a day,
So give the Hague a chance.
Not the first furlong ends the way,
Not the first violet brings the May,
Not the first measure sings the lay,
Not the first skirmish wins the fray,
Not the first backache earns the pay,
Not the first sunshine makes the hay,
But work and pray, and work and pray,
In spite of all that men can say,
In spite of cowards that betray,
In spite of fools that go astray,
In spite of timid, weak dismay, --
Yes, work and pray, and work and pray,
And win the goal of peace some day!
So give the Hague a chance.
