From Festival Plays: One-Act Pieces by Marguerite Merington

What, ho! ’Tis morning! See the sun hath risen! CONSTANTINE. After night’s tempest, ah, how sweet the morn! But... what a change! All hushed the frenzied din That rent the skies of yesterday! No more The market-place runs blood, with fire and sword As man hunts down his fellow-creatures! Calm The city rests, and rises like a song The hum of gently avocationed lives And happy people! And... surely I dream! Above the city gate a cross... the cross Of Christos... Him for love of whom we fled, Were prisoned here last night!
