Love's Resurrection Day

by Louise Chandler Moulton English

Round among the quiet graves,
When the sun was low,
Love went grieving,—Love who saves:
Did the sleepers know?

At his touch the flowers awoke,
At his tender call
Birds into sweet singing broke,
And it did befall

From the blooming, bursting sod
All Love’s dead arose,
And went flying up to God
By a way Love knows.
