Easter Weekend

Easter Music
by Margaret Wade Deland

 
Blow, golden trumpets, sweet and clear,
Blow soft upon the perfumed air;
 
 
Bid the sad earth to join our song,
"To Christ does victory belong!"
 


Oh, let the winds your message bear
To every heart of grief and care;
 


Sound through the world the joyful lay,
"Our Christ hath conquered Death today!"
 


On cloudy wings let glad words fly
Through the soft blue of echoing sky:
 


Ring out, O trumpets, sweet and clear,
"Through Death immortal Life is here!"

He is risen, indeed!

I so love S's eyes peering over the coconut-laden cake (pondering what it would look like with a blue starfish on top instead?!). Also, wondering if the author of this verse is connected with our beloved DeLand, Florida?!

Love you all!
