VENICE JONES, '15 LITERARY Easter Eostre is breathing the breath of life, And the sleep of death is o'er. The birds have come over distant seas That wash on a distant shore. I feel the beat of my heart in its bound To the new born joy of spring, And I lend my ear to the babbling sound Of the swelling brooks that sing. The trees are clothing their naked limbs In a verdant garb of green; And the mountain top is earlier crowned By the sun in a golden sheen. The birds unfold at the kiss of spring Like hearts that are touched with love; And the plants are bathed when the breezes bring Sweet showers from the clouds above. All things are born into life anew When the spirit fills the air, And the soul of man awakes at the call When azure skies are fair. Our thoughts arise from the plain and low, And our dreams and hopes are free As sylph and seraph that come and go In the life that is to be.
