Now, while the dawn with tints of rose Smiles through the gray skies, every
 where.
 Softly about her morning care The Easter mother goes. The little rooms we call the hours She gladdeneth for all our sakes; And in their cradles gently wakes The earliest Spring flowers. The dark hath somehow fallen away, For where she deftly hath uprolled The snow-white curtains, we behold The dawn of Easter Day. And with a cheerful song she gives The first birds welcome to her door, While all the Easter world once more Rejoices that it lives.
