CALVARY AND EASTER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: A song of sunshine through the rain Last Line: Were just three days apart Subject(s): Calvary;easter;holidays; The Resurrection | ||||||||
A song of sunshine through the rain, Of Spring across the snow; A balm to heal the hurts of pain, A peace surpassing woe. Lift up your heads, ye sorrowing ones, And be ye glad of heart, For Calvary and Easter Day, Earth's saddest day and gladdest day, Were just three days apart! With shudder of despair and loss The world's deep heart was wrung, As, lifted high upon His cross, The Lord of Glory hung -- When rocks were rent, and ghostly forms Stole forth in street and mart; But Calvary and Easter Day, Earth's blackest day and whitest day, Were just three days apart. | 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 TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
