Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1905-04-21

The Lord is rsen!-chants the choir.
Hosanna to his Kingly name,
He rose triumphant from the mire,
And broke the bonds of sin and shame.
Emerging from the graves grey glocy"
He put the Roman guards to flight
He tanned the terror of the tomb,
AS radiant sunshine cOnQuers nigh.
The majestic organs noble strain
Peas out in rapturOus rOundelay,
AS thrObbing with fierce Godlike pain,
And cheers the laggard in the fray.
How fresh each virgins roseleaf face
AS pure lilies drenchcd in dew,
Their ustrOus eyes their fawn-lke grace,
Sweet enthusiasts so sanch and true.
One trips demurely down the aisle
AS artess shy nut brown maid
You watch the piquan tender smile
The ashen wsp OF silken braid
AS timorous shy tender lawn,
That anguid crops sweet savory grass
And frankly greets the pure eyed Dawn
You watch the soft eyed lasse pass.
So shy and virginia. her air,
AS pensive seraph bright,
The radiant halo of her hair,
AS rich sunshine the sight.
She kneels meekly in the pew
With eyes demure and dainty mien,
Meath oriel windows violet hue
That filter radiance DER the scene.
You like to see her rosaleaf face
Blush like pale lily in the sun,
You mark the supple. grlish grace,
The high bred pallor of the nun,
You watch her violet dewy eyes,
The inky eyebrows slken shade
That masks her glance of arch surprise,
And sanctifes the tender maid.
Like some rich jewel in the gloom.
She seems to hide her beauty rare,
The swinging cerser's rich perfume
Spills incense the tranced air.
Touched with Cecilias tender grace
She dawns truan from the skies,
You mark the pure patrican face,
The starry splendor OF her eyes.
The boyish beauty of the priest,
Carved ivory cruciXes glow,
Rich splendid sculpture from the East,
The SOnorous Iatn's stately flow,
The tapering spire that fronts the sky,
The big tabernacle's sanity gloom
Lily proved Madonna's wstfu eye
The baby SaviOrs destined doom.
The sun seems dancing in the sky
Rejoicing Elithe Easter Day.
The swallows twtter, pose and fly,
The seaguls drift DER foaming spray,
And Nature decks herself in green
To greet the coming of the spring,
The balmy breeze blows soft serene
To hail the triumph OF the King.
You linger round the stately place.
The high altar CLEANS like fairyland
You the Madonna's Raphael face,
The young Acoytes in bOyish band
You hear the rich Gregoran song
Like elfn strains from fairy seas
The famished pilgrims eager throng,
The incense trailing on the breeze
In the Sancuarys ivory shrine
The sanity preate kneels and prays,
I would such tranquil peace mine
wanderer by unhaowed ways.
My musing fancy calls the past
OF boysh hopes and boyish fears
Youths radiant rainbow could not last
Extinguished in grey mist OF tears.
The Lord is risen-peas the chime
The organ thunders forth his praise,
And surges like rhyme
That swells like Homer's deathless lays.
How fresh how soft each grsh song
That charms and soothes the spellbound ca
That seems to Danish grief and wrong
And brings the cynics grudgng tear.
The belfrys chimes are pealng clear
In the turret of the sculptured tower
AS exercising grief and fear
And waiting in blithe Easter hour
Their crystal cadence soothes the
And seems to weave a honeyed spell
Their carols bring the angels near b.
The Lord is risen-all is well.
am the Resurrection and the life
Thus spake the Lord to scofing foe
Go sheathe your sword and cease your strife;
| Danish grief and care and
Condemned to death upon tree,
Doomed like thief to hang in pain,
My suffering set the nations free,
My sacrifice, the sinners gain.
All hail the glorious Easter
That tanned the terror of the tomb
Deaths citadel was wrenched and torn
The Easter lilies bourgeon-boom.
The Rising Sun of Christs on high;
Its golden radiance warns the plain
The Savior taught us how to die
Its golden radiance warns the plain
