WITH windflower now and daffodil, That bird they call cuckoo Goes shouting now o'er vale and hill His Allelu Alleluia! He feasts him on the cuckoo's meat, The wood-sorrel, so new, And shouts his grace ere he doth eat His Allelu Alleluia! Sith Christ hath left the wormy grave The world's in green and blue, This clerk sings piously his stave, His Allelu Alleluia! Up hearts! for Jesus Christ, His sake, Who by His dying slew Both death and sin. Here's one awake Calls Allelu Alleluia! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE READER OF THE SENTENCES by NORMAN DUBIE RESURRECTION UPDATE by JAMES GALVIN UNHOLY SONNET: 20 by MARK JARMAN ON RISING FROM THE DEAD by CAROLYN KIZER A GUARD OF THE SEPULCHER by EDWIN MARKHAM THE RESURRECTION by JONATHAN HENDERSON BROOKS |
