Out of the East the royal Sun, Sign of a glad new day begun, Out of the East, to heal and bless, Rises the Sun of Righteousness: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the Stars arise, Myriad suns of other skies; So is Judaea's Saviour found Lord of all races the Earth around: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the Wise Men came, Led by the wondrous, heavenly flame. Now the King of their starry lore Rises to reign forever more: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the warmth and power, Light and love for the living hour, Joy unceasing and full and free, Meant for the lowliest, even me: Out of the East is Easter. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THRENODY FOR A BROWN GIRL by COUNTEE CULLEN THE COTTER'S SATURDAY NIGHT by ROBERT BURNS ON THE DEATH OF A METAPHYSICIAN by GEORGE SANTAYANA MY FAMILIAR by JOHN GODFREY SAXE THE BRITISH PHILIPPIC by MARK AKENSIDE SONNET: ENGLAND by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH ON THE STATUE OF AN ANGEL, BY BIENAIME by WASHINGTON ALLSTON |
