When Christ Arose.

When Christ Arose.
elizabeth Powers Merrill.)
When Christ arose,
The morning poured
Like river over stars of gold.
The oleanders, flushed with light,
Their scarlet petals. wide unfold.
The lilies shed their perfume rich
Throughout the beauteous garden close.
The birds, in happiest measure sang,-
When Christ arose!
When Christ arose
The world first learned
That Life. Is never slain by death.
Life. more than flesh, and blood. and
bone.
Life. more than word, or sigh, or breath.
Life is the Universe itself
The Seen, and Realms that no one knows
A loftier view Of life was gained
When Christ arose!
When Christ arose!
! Tall AZraal comes,
And walks the earth with silent tread.
And then, we weep. and cali them, dead.
What if they pass beyond our ken
The heart faints not. for we'll it knows,
The Dead were given back to U.S.
| When Christ arose!
