A FRAGMENT
After the German of Marie Ebner.
Question:—"A little song—what tender spell
Wins human hearts to love it well,
What lives within, I pray you tell?"
Wins human hearts to love it well,
What lives within, I pray you tell?"
Answer:—"There lies therein a cadence sweet,—
Fond words that bid the pulses beat,—
A soul where loving fancies meet."
Fond words that bid the pulses beat,—
A soul where loving fancies meet."
EASTER CAROL
The Lord is risen,—this the song
The happy angels sing;—
The Lord is risen,—through the world
Let the glad tidings ring.
The happy angels sing;—
The Lord is risen,—through the world
Let the glad tidings ring.
The Lord is risen,—all the earth
Feels the awakening breath;—
The Lord is risen,—ever more
Life triumphs over death.
Feels the awakening breath;—
The Lord is risen,—ever more
Life triumphs over death.
The Lord is risen,—birds and flowers
The blessed news proclaim;—
The Lord is risen,—honor, praise
And glorify His name.
