THE EASTER LILY.

BY TOWNSEND ALLEN
Whitest and tairest OF flowers that grow
Pureness inCarnate, angel I know
Dwels in thy petals and breathes thy sweet breath
The angel Of Easter who triumphs oer death.
Down from thy home in tn ethereal skies
Came thy white spirit. glad sacrifice;
Even as Christ IN the human was born

Soul thou wilt blossom in Gods white and gold
