WAITING FOR EASTER.
103
Rosier dawns and twilights, suns and moons benigner,
All that heaven and earth can give to fashion April fair.

Nay, bring nobler courage; faith that never falters;
Bear our griefs with winter o'er the seas away;—
So in hope and gladness, beside our hearths and altars,
We will wait the coming of the blessed Easter Day!
