A CALIFORNIA EASTER MASS by CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD

First Line: NOW BURN THE POPPY-LAMPS OF SPRING
Last Line: THE GLORIA OF THE BORN-AGAIN.
Subject(s): EASTER; HOLIDAYS; MASS; THE RESURRECTION;
Now burn the poppy-lamps of Spring
Along the lifting aisles of grain;
Before the mystic offering,
The earth-warm breathing censers swing
And choirs innumerable sing
The gloria of the Born-again.
