Easter Lily

 AT EASTER TIME  

a poem by ELIZABETH HAYNES SANDS 

This is the gift of them that sleep, 
Whose dust so long has lain- 
That they again return to us 
In softest April rain;

That they should give their bodies flesh 

To feed the budding trees, 

That they should speak to us again 

Through every summer breeze;

In every throbbing pulse of earth 

We feel their heartbeats, still, 

Hear them in every laughing stream, 

See them on every hill.

They send their message back to us 

Up through the depths of earth 

Reminding us lest we forget 

That they have found new birth
