629. Love’s Resurrection Day

By Louise Chandler Moulton


ROUND among the quiet graves,
When the sun was low,
Love went grieving,—Love who saves:
Did the sleepers know?

At his touch the flowers awoke,	5
At his tender call
Birds into sweet singing broke,
And it did befall

From the blooming, bursting sod
All Love’s dead arose,	10
And went flying up to God
By a way Love knows.
