by John Woolman & Paulette Meier

May we look upon our treasure,
    our furniture & our garments,
May we look upon our treasure,
    our furniture & our garments,
And try to discover whether the seeds of war
Are nourished by these our possessions.

Paulette Meier set these words by John Woolman to music as a round. It can be found on page 207 in the “Peace” chapter of Rise Again and on Paulette’s album “Timeless Quaker Wisdom”.
