The day of days is the Easter Day;
The Church puts on her white array;
For Christ hath filled the very tomb
With Easter light and Easter bloom!

In every flower that blows.

These flowers their mission sweet fulfil
And in their sweetness die;
But Easter hopes unfolding still
Climb flower-like up the sky.

Beyond the rended veil!
