Poetry Teatime: The 4th Week of March
Hi Guys and Gals! 🙂
Today I’ll be introducing my favorite Easter poem. 🙂
On Easter Day
Celia Thaxter
Easter lilies! Can you hear
What they whisper, low and clear?
In dewy fragrance they unfold
Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold.
Every beauty-breathing bell
News of heaven has to tell.
Listen to their mystic voice,
Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice!
Hark, their soft and heavenly chime!
Christ is risen for all time!
What they whisper, low and clear?
In dewy fragrance they unfold
Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold.
Every beauty-breathing bell
News of heaven has to tell.
Listen to their mystic voice,
Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice!
Hark, their soft and heavenly chime!
Christ is risen for all time!
Isn’t that a lovely poem? So beautiful! 🙂 Since it’s late (and so am I!), I’m going to post it now. I know this isn’t much of a post, but I think the poem really speaks for itself … and, besides, I admit that my worst fault is laziness. 😛
