Easter Day by May Riley Smith

Easter Day
by May Riley Smith

O sad, sad soul, fling wide your doors,
And make your windows curtainless!
Strew odors on your silent floors,
And all your walls with lilies dress!

Throw open every sombre place;
Roll every hindering stone away!
Let Easter sunshine gild your face,
And bless you with its warmth to-day!

Let friends renew each by-gone hour,
Let children fling the world a kiss:
And every hand tie in some flower,
To crown a day so good as this!

And whether skies are sad or clear,
We'll give the day to joy and song:
For since the Christ is surely here,
All things are right, and naught is wrong!
