The fires are quenched, to be again

Rekindled from the sun, that high

Is dancing in the cloudless sky.

The churches are all decked with flowers.

The salutations among men

Are but the Angel's words divine,

"Christ is arisen!" and the bells

Catch the glad murmur, as it swells,

And chaunt together in their towers.

All hearts are glad; and free from care
