MkEaster Memory
The chime of bei! across the waking year
Peals out "the white Christ risen from the dead,"
The gospel that the April winds have disread,
The mystery of the golden wing makes clear,
The tender sky smiles over1t; the, air
Is kind with love to comfort all the earth,
The brown parks have forgotten winter's dearth
Since daffodils bd sunlight made them fair,
But still the gray church from the crowded street
Allures me with the spell of broken dreams,
0, heart, my heart, to you and me it seems
That God has left l:iis'glory inconapletb.
Can we not see her as , year ago,
Beyond that sunlight flaked in colored fire—
The upturned face, -the eyes of stilt desire,
The dusk -gold hair that now the angels know?
What means this tender April sky to her,
With bells that chime against the winds of spring?
Etoas memory move her when the bluebirds sing,
Or does she feel the old sweet pulses stir?
The organ lays its voice across our strife
What -is it that the sobbing notes would say?
For you and me,. my heart, another day!
For bey --the. Resurrection and the Life!
