EASTER, by                    
First Line: Now, winds are hushed and skies are clear
Last Line: The crown of easter morning.
Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection


Now, winds are hushed and skies are clear
And April, vestal of the year,
Through woodland aisles and chancelled hills
From jonquil cups and daffodils
Swings fragrant incense everywhere
As sweet as mercy, -- mute as prayer, --
Her trysting place adorning.

Comes through the dawn, her Galahad;
Anon, she meets him, lily-clad,
And kneels; for, on his victor shield
Love's conquering symbol is revealed, --
The Crown of Easter morning.
