Text
Peace
by Langston Hughes
We passed their graves:
The dead men there,
Winners or losers,
Did not care.
In the dark
They could not see
Who had gained
The victory.
–The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, p. 341
"Peace" is the third song of Siegmeister's The Face of War cycle, which sets five texts of Langston Hughes.
