Poems (Tynan)/Love at Easter
LOVE AT EASTER
Sing to the Lord a new song! Because the Spring comes newly. And every slender sapling Has budded green and red. Sing to the Lord a new song! The skylark sings it truly, Since all in dewy April His love and he are wed.
Sing to the Lord a new song! For every bird 's a lover, And o'er the purple furrows The green spears nod and wave. Sing to the Lord a new song! Since Lenten fasts are over,And Easter 's gone in glory, And Christ has left the grave.
Sing to the Lord a new song! A song of love and wedding, For every bird is building His nest in bower and tree. Sing to the Lord a new song! The tufts of soft wool spreading Where a brown wife and babies This April-tide shall be.
