written for the Kalispall Bee)
It's Eastertide. and far and near,
Church bells ring out. sweetly and
clear:
Rejoice. Rejoice For Christ has
risen;
Rejoice. Rejoice, The tomb is
riven.
With appraised head, or Bonded knee,
The softly bI5athed prayer may be,
AS thoughts of nope and JOY arise
This happy, peaceful Eastertide,
The birds their Easter anthem sing,
AS to the north their way they wing,
And from their deep, lethaTgic sleep
The spring time flowers do upward
peep,
And nature. like little child,
Just newly born, does sigh and smile,
AS DER the earth the bells ring clear,
Rejoice, For Eastertide is here.
