This Easter Day.

With loins girt about, and staff in hand,

As one made ready for the Promised Land,

Who may not stay;

Come, then. The feast is spread which angels still

Desire to taste;

Take thou thy crumb, nor wait for farther good,

To bask and batten on immortal food,

But rise in haste;

And get thee forth to the hard-trodden way,
