EASTER

Francis Brett Young

Adown our lane at Eastertide Hosts of dancing bluebells lay In pools of light: and‘ Oh,’ you cried, ‘ Look, look at them: I think that they

Are bluer than the laughing sea,’ And‘ Look!’ you cried,‘ a piece of the sky Has fallen down for you and me To gaze upon and love.’... And I,

Seeing in your eyes the dancing blue And in your heart the innocent birth Of a pure delight, I knew, I knew That heaven had fallen upon earth.
