THE RESURRECTION by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: MY TRUE LOVE STILL IS ALL THAT'S FAIR
Last Line: WHICH THROWS A SHADOW ON MY MIND.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; JESUS CHRIST; LOVE; RESURRECTION, THE; TREES;

MY true love still is all that's fair,
She is flower and blossom blowing free,
For all her silence lying there
She sings a spirit song to me.

New lovers seek her in her bower,
The rain, the dew, the flying wind,
And tempt her out to be a flower,
Which throws a shadow on my mind.
