Out of the East the royal Sun, Sign of a glad new day begun, Out of the East, to heal and bless, Rises the Sun of Righteousness: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the Stars arise, Myriad suns of other skies; So is Judaea's Saviour found Lord of all races the Earth around: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the Wise Men came, Led by the wondrous, heavenly flame. Now the King of their starry lore Rises to reign forever more: Out of the East is Easter. Out of the East the warmth and power, Light and love for the living hour, Joy unceasing and full and free, Meant for the lowliest, even me: Out of the East is Easter. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GENERAL PUBLIC by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET REGARDING CHAINSAWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH BIRTHDAY POEM FOR THOMAS HARDY by CECIL DAY LEWIS THE GIANTS OF HISTORY by JAMES GALVIN A BANJO SONG by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON APPELLATE JURISDICTION by MARIANNE MOORE THE UNDERGRADUATE KILLED IN BATTLE; OXFORD, 1915 by GEORGE SANTAYANA |
