IN THE GARDEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I think that still, as easter morn dawns nigh
Last Line: His radiant easter presence we discern?
Subject(s): Easter; Holidays; The Resurrection


I think that still, as Easter morn dawns nigh,
Damascus Gate, and all the wall thereby,
Must breathe a trembling and expectant sigh.

I think the garden places and the street
Passed by the Saviour's resurrection feet
Still quiver at the memory high and sweet.

I think the very pebbles glittering bare,
And all the flowers in the garden fair,
Are thrilled as if the Saviour still were there.

And who will say He does not there return,
Since in our own glad hearts that throb and burn
His radiant Easter presence we discern?
