Explore "An Easter Carol" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Spring bursts to-day, / For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play.
Flash forth, thou Sun, / The rain is over and gone, its work is done.
Winter is past, / Sweet Spring is come at last, is come at last.
Bud, Fig and Vine, / Bud, Olive, fat with fruit and oil and wine.
Break forth this morn / In roses, thou but yesterday a Thorn.
Uplift thy head, / O pure white Lily through the Winter dead.
Beside your dams / Leap and rejoice, you merry-making Lambs.
All Herds and Flocks / Rejoice, all Beasts of thickets and of rocks.
Sing, Creatures, sing, / Angels and Men and Birds and everything.
All notes of Doves / Fill all our world: this is the time of loves.
