THE EARTH'S EASTER-TIDE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sing and rejoice, soul of the world sing on!
Last Line: Our sun is risen indeed! He lives and reigns again!
Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection


SING and rejoice, Soul of the world, sing on!
Sing and be glad to-day!
Thy Spring is come at length, thy winter gone,
Vanished and chased away.
Rise in white robes, leaving the tomb, the dead,
Behold, the living Sun calls to thee overhead.

Let the glad Earth her bosom deck with flowers,
A bride with pure, calm eyes,
Let the still sea reflect the cloudless skies,
To-day deep joy is ours,
The Spring-tide of the Soul at last is born,
Our Hope is risen, is risen, this is our Easter morn.

Exult, oh heart. Rejoice, oh Soul, rejoice,
Thy Hope is risen to-day,
Let all things living lift a cheerful voice,
Thy Hope is risen to-day.
No more Death bounds our lives with hopeless pain,
Our Sun is risen indeed! He lives and reigns again!
