AT EASTER TIXIE
Tlie little fkw'crs came through tlie
ground,
At Easter time, at Easter time;
They raised their heads and looked
around,
At hapi^y Easter time.
And every pretty bud did sa\’,
“Good people, bless this lioly da\'.
For Christ is risen, the Angels say
At happy Easter time!”
The pure white lily raised its cup
At Easter time, at Easter time;
The crocus to the sky looked up
At happy Easter time.
‘We’ll Iiear the song of Heaven!
they say.
Its glory shines on us today.
Oh! may it shine on us alway
-At holy Easter Time!”
Twa.s long and long and long ago.
That Easter time, that Easter time.
But still tlie pure white lilees blow
At happ\' Easter time.
And still each little flower dotli sa\'.
“Good Christian, bless this holy
day.
For Christ is risen, the angels sa\'
At blessed Easter time!”
