RESURRECTION by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY

First Line: I BURIED JOY; AND EARLY TO THE TOMB
Last Line: WHO DARED TO DREAM THAT JOY, MY JOY, COULD DIE!
Subject(s): DEATH, RETURN FROM; IMMORTALITY;
I BURIED Joy; and early to the tomb
I came to weep—so sorrowful was I
Who had not dreamed that Joy, my Joy, could die.

I turned away, and by my side stood Joy
All glorified—ah, so ashamed was I
Who dared to dream that Joy, my Joy, could die!
