Explore "Soul's Easter" by Georgia Douglas Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Something has died when the lily lifts / The shaft of its God-turned head, / Something has faded and perished that now / Lies under the lily's door dead.
Something has died when the heart exhales / Its attar of roses rare; / Bow at the tomb when the soul leaps forth / A flame on the midnight air!
