When he whose sinless spirit hasFor centuries been our guide and way,Compassed by stern and cruel foes,Was being forced up the dread hillOf suffering and shameful death,Weary and fainting 'neath the burdenOf the heavy cross on which he was to yieldIn agony, his stainless life,—'Tis said, that in his stepsThere bloomed a sudden wonder:—A snowy flower, that mortal eyeTill then, had never seen.

Easter Day

"Awake ! put on thy strength, O Zion!" for Easter Day has come;The new-born earth from bondage loosed, no longer blind and dumb,Has seen the brightness of the glory of the risen Star,And on this happy morn, across the eastern sky, the barOf coming light illumines man, and lifts desireTo holier thoughts and deeds, and song caught from celestialchoir.
