The Whistle Maker and Other Poems/Easter

by William Nauns Ricks

Easter

 

---

 

I would that from out our lives
The Winter of sickness
And sorrow
And misunderstanding
Would pass.
And that the marvel of the Spring,
The RESURRECTION! of light—perfect light,
And the sunshine of LOVE! perfect LOVE;
For all of God's Creation would come
As the Spring brings grass,
Softly.
