EAST AND EASTER, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Out of the east the royal sun Last Line: Out of the east is easter. Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection | ||||||||
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...EASTER EVE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOD SEND EASTER by LUCILLE CLIFTON NOT THE CUCKOLD'S DREAM; FOR SAM PEREIRA by NORMAN DUBIE EASTER HYMN by GEORGE SANTAYANA I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS SPANISH EASTER: 1926 by CONRAD AIKEN A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
