Compensation
by an unknown English poet
The graves grow thicker, and life's ways more bare,
As years on years go by:
Nay, thou hast more green gardens in thy care.
And more stars in thy sky!
Behind, hopes turned to grief, and joy to memories.
Are fading out of sight ;
Before, pains changed to peace, and dreams to cer-
tainties,
Are glowing in God's light.
Hither come backslidings, defeats, distresses,
Vexing this mortal strife;
Thither go progress, victories, successes,
Crowning immortal life.
Few jubilees, few gladsome, festive hours,
Form landmarks for my way;
But heaven and earth, and saints and friends and
flowers,
Are keeping Easter Day!
Cut an Easter daffodil paper boarder to decorate your home or classroom for Easter.
Download and print out the pattern below. The dotted lines
indicate where the image will be folded to continue the daffodil silhouette
seamlessly after it is unfolded. The number of images "linked" together
in one continuous chain is determined by the length of the paper being
cut. Use a very thin paper to make your cutting easier. Cut away the
areas indicated by the design. (see image above and read text on the
pattern below. This paper-cut may be used as a border around a Easter
bulletin board in a classroom or as a paper chain for a shelf if you like.
