English poem
An Easter Greeting
by Martha Dickinson Bianchi (1866–1943)
The lark at sunrise trills it high— The greeting Christ is risen! And through the wood the black-bird pipes The greeting Christ is risen! Beneath the eaves the swallows cry The greeting Christ is risen! Throughout the world man's heart proclaims The greeting Christ is risen! And echo answers from the grave In truth, yes, He is risen!
