To An Easter Lily

Antique postcard of child holding Easter lilies.

TO AN EASTER LILY

Tell me, lovely Lily,
Nodding in the field,
As you lift your petals white,
And sweetest fragrance yield;
Why are you so happy?
Why are you so glad?
When many people round about
Do look so very sad?

Thus the Lily answered,
Whispering soft and low,
''Can't you guess why I am glad?
Really don't you know?
Then I'll tell my secret,
If you'll bend your head,
I am happy on this day,
For Christ rose from the dead.''

 

As sister fixes eggs for Easter
Bunny becomes a carrot-feaster!

 

Very vintage coloring for Easter from the 1950s.
