A poem by William Lisle Bowles

Easter Day

________________________________________________
Title:     Easter Day
Author: William Lisle Bowles [More Titles by Bowles]

Who comes (my soul no longer doubt),
Rising from earth's wormy sod,
And whilst ten thousand angels sing,
Ascends--ascends to heaven, a God?

Saviour, Lord, I know thee now!
Mighty to redeem and save,
Such glory blazes on thy brow,
Which lights the darkness of the grave.

Saviour, Lord, the human soul,
Forgotten every sorrow here,
Shall thus, aspiring to its goal,
Triumph in its native sphere.





[The end]
William Lisle Bowles's poem: Easter Day
