EASTER TUESDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: TOGETHER WITH MY DEAD BODY SHALL THEY ARISE
Last Line: TOGETHER WITH MY DEAD BODY SHALL THEY.
Subject(s): EASTER; HOLIDAYS; THE RESURRECTION;

'TOGETHER with my dead body shall they arise.'
Shall my dead body arise? then amen and yea
On track of a home beyond the uttermost skies
Together with my dead body shall they.

We know the way: thank God Who hath showed us the way!
Jesus Christ our Way to beautiful Paradise,
Jesus Christ the Same for ever, the Same to-day.

Five Virgins replenish with oil their lamps, being wise,
Five Virgins awaiting the Bridegroom watch and pray:
And if I one day spring from my grave to the prize,
Together with my dead body shall they.
