RESURGENCE, by FRANCES MOYES First Line: These are the joyous resurrection days! Last Line: There, know our oneness with the infinite. | |||
These are the joyous resurrection days! When from decay and death of winter's pall, All nature wakens to spring's magic call And sings her glad symphonic roundelays Through tree and leaf; through bud and petal-blaze; Through nascent life, resurging over all, -- A swelling vibrant choir in madrigal That lifts itself in rhapsody of praise! We, too, may sing the resurrection song! And from the tomb of our dead selves arise, Take up the strain, the antiphon prolong! Roll back the stone that seals and blinds the eyes; Ascend into the realm of truth and light There, know our oneness with the Infinite. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A VIOLENT LEAF (FROM THE GRAVE OF KEATS) by FRANCES MOYES SONG FOR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH by DOROTHY PARKER RYTON FIRS by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW I SAW THREE SHIPS by MOTHER GOOSE EPIGRAM: 27.
