Awakening
by Rose Terry Cook
With the first bright, slant beam,
Out of the chilling stream
Their cups of fragrant light
Golden and milky white
From folded darkness spring.
To hail their King.
Consider these, my soul!
How the blind buds unroll
Touched with one tranquil ray
Of rising day,
Into the full delight
Of lilies white.
Out of thy streaming tears,
Thy chill and darkening fears,
Oh, sleeping soul, awake!
Lo, on thy lonely lake,
Thy sun begins to shine,
Thy Light and Life divine!
Consider these, my heart!
Dreaming and cold thou art:
Swift from thyself up-spring,
Shine for thy King.
Rise in His light.
With garments white,
Forget the night:
The Lord hath arisen.

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 an Easter
bulletin board in a classroom or as a paper chain for a shelf if you like.
