| The Coming of Peace written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Song of Life", 1920 | Link to further information |
It was the night when we expected news from France,
To say the war was over, and the fighting done;
The tidings that would make my heart rejoice at last,
For foe as well as friend, and make the peoples one.
And as I moved amidst that silent multitude,
Feeling the presence of a wild excitement there,
The world appeared to me so strange and wonderful -
I almost heard a cuckoo in Trafalgar Square!
