A DRIZZLING EASTER MORNING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: And he is risen? Well, be it so
Last Line: For endless rest -- though risen is he.
Variant Title(s): On One Who Lived And Died Where Born
Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection


AND he is risen? Well, be it so. . . .
And still the pensive lands complain,
And dead men wait as long ago,
As if, much doubting, they would know
What they are ransomed from, before
They pass again their sheltering door.

I stand amid them in the rain,
While blusters vex the yew and vane;
And on the road the weary wain
Plods forward, laden heavily;
And toilers with their aches are fain
For endless rest -- though risen is he.
