EASTER MUSIC by MARGARET WADE CAMPBELL DELAND

Poet Analysis

First Line: BLOW, GOLDEN TRUMPETS, SWEET AND CLEAR
Last Line: "THROUGH DEATH IMMORTAL LIFE IS HERE!"
Subject(s): EASTER; HOLIDAYS; JESUS CHRIST; RESURRECTION, THE; THE RESURRECTION;
BLOW, golden trumpets, sweet and clear,
Blow soft upon the perfumed air;
Bid the sad earth to join your 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 has conquered Death to-day!"

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!"
