'Pact' (poem) by R S Thomas

This poem is from his anthology 'Uncollected Poems,' published by Bloodaxe Books


This is my child;

that is yours. Let

peace be between them

when they grow up.


They are far off

now; let it not

be through war they are brought

near. Their languages


are different. Let them both

learn it is peace 

in the hand is the translation 

of peace in the mind.
