WHO is it Risen?—Spirit of Earth From the dark and moaning cave Where hungry winters rave? Out of frozen bondage breaking, Hoar dews shaking From her trembling shoulders round, Flying that pursuing sound From the hungry moaning cave, Spirit of Earth. Who is it Risen? Whose footprint here In the cropped grass lingers yet? Still the boughs are wet, And the bindweed's buds are quickening, Thorn is thickening, And the English daisy lifts Her head in snowy drifts— Wild April fawns on Jesus yet, Spirit of Heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTER EVE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOD SEND EASTER by LUCILLE CLIFTON NOT THE CUCKOLD'S DREAM; FOR SAM PEREIRA by NORMAN DUBIE EASTER HYMN by GEORGE SANTAYANA I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS |
