Crane, W. (1889). Coming events cast their brightness before: May this bright vision all accomplished be / Ere Christmas comes again his cheery round. / Two nations long at fiercest enmity, / At last in bonds of fair affection bound. / Hail, "Grand Old Man," [William Ewart Gladstone] at whose benign behest / The wasting feuds of seven long centuries cease. / "Blessed are the peacemakers;" then doubly blessed / Who 'twixt two angry nations hat made peace. [William O'Brien].
