EASTER.


On Easter morning when you wake
And hear the bells that are Peallns.
You look and see your rabbit, egg ana
With mother to laugh at your squeallng,
And never Is given thought
When the bells shall cease,
In the years that shall be Wrought
TO bring great JOY and peace
When you wake on Easter morn
Far away from Your dear, sweet home,
And the rlslng-hell's peal Is heard at
dawn,
Then you think OF the church at home
with its red brick dome.
When you hear on Faster morn
The peal of funeral bell,
And you and John stand on the lawn
Making with tears wei.
Then the bells with all their peallng
And all the Easter Joys,
Seem to the heart that has no heallng
A cruel banging .noise1x ,,,,,,,,,,,
