Keeping tine Trees and Tomb. so was He flesh;
SO living. natural. and made like man
Albeit II had mGrked-if any ray
OF watchful hope had helped me-such q look,
Such Presence. beautiful and pure: such light
OF loVeliest compassion in his face,
Had told my beating heart and blinded eyes
WHO this must be. But I-my brow il tho

Heard Him say softly: wherefore weepest

Whom seekest thour A little marveled l.
Still at His foot, too sorrowful to rise
He should ask this.-the void grave gaping near
And He sits watchman; yet His accents glad;
Nay, eac1 word sweet with secret resonance
OF Joy shut in 1t; and tender note
OF lightness, hike the gentle raillery

When the Sun springs In glory such a word

Like cloud melting 10 the Blue Such word
As, with more music than Earth ever heard,
Set my Ewift-dancing veins full well aware
Why so the Dav dawned, and the City stirred,
And the vast idle world went busy on,
And the birds caroled and. in palm-tree tops
The wise doves cooed Of love! o, dear word
Spoke first to me, and after me- to all,
That all may always know He Is the Lord
And Death is dead, and new times come for
men:
And Heavens ways justified, and Christ alive
Whom we saw die, nailed on the cruel Cross
For, while lay there, sobbing at His feet
