It-s the sweet law of men
They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It-s the true law of men
Kept intact despite
the misery and war
despite danger of death
It-s the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
A law old and new
That perfects itself
From the child-s heart-s depths
To reason-s heights.
It-s The Sweet Law Of Men
Paul Eluard
