An Easter Carol

MARY J. ELMENDORF.

Open wide the eastward windows
To the Resurrection morn;
Hearken to the deep thought-music
In the rose-pearl silence born.

Wraiths of night and death are vanished;
Gone the scourge and thorns and gloom.
Victory stands beside the cross;
White-winged angels rend the tomb.

Open wide the eastward windows
To the lilies waiting there;
Rise, and journey with the blossoms
Fleetly up the way of prayer.

In those garden-paths of peace,
Petals of the heart unfold,
While its fragrance wafts to God
Like an offering of gold.

Open wide the eastward windows
To the light and joy that are;
Lo! the glory of the Sunrise
Rounds the message of the Star.
