Though you see them not and you hear them not, they sh&ll sit at the table too, They shall throng the room where the peace is made and know what it is you do. The innocent. dead from the sea shall rise to stand at the wise man's side, And over his shoulder a boy shall look--a boy that they crucified. You may guard the doors of that Council hall with barriers strong and stout, But the dead, unbidden shall enter there, and never you'll shut them out. And the man that died in the open boat, and the babes that suffered worse, Shall sit at the table when peace is made, by the side of a martyred nurse.
