With garlands wreathed. bespoke glad youths

Enamored was, and straight-ah, time of dark

Bore her perforce with him. much to his own dis

A helpless maid thus from her treasures to dis

To his drear shadow-haunted home: while great

Reigned in the upper world. and sad dishearted-
But once again birds sing with Joy and flowers

In gala dress arrayed with ouickened life aglow,
All Nature the inspiring news exultant tells
Till, borne by wind and wave the gladstone

AS sleeper THREEs in dreamland, fear
full lest he shall awake,
Fearful that the scenes of beauty may a
sudden fade and break,
SO l. sat in raptured silence all the livelong
service through.
Seeing little, hearing little save the face
and voice of you.
And the preacher. in his sermon, spoke of
Him of Nazareth;
OF His life, in which no ONE was: OF His
triumph over death.
But this sentence rang out sweetly, all the
other words above,
He who knows not love can never know of
God; for God is love-"
Moved by some resistless impulse at the
words the speaker said,
Swift you turned your face toward me, and
/ saw your cheeks grow red,
While, like dawning of the morning, fading
doubts dispelling fears,
From your eyes flashed glorious lovelight
through a TWO of happy tears.
Then solemn silence fell upon the vast,
expectant throng
AS throughout the great cathedral rang the
resurrection song;
And the joyous jubilate, rising grandly to
the skies,
Drew from out my heart an echo of the
love that never dies.
