I’ve been working a lot with flowery images this week, and while Easter is late this year, it’s got me thinking of Easter and longing for spring even more than usual. Here’s an Easter hymn for your winter enjoyment:
Awake, thou wintry earth –
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
– Thomas Blackburn, “An Easter Hymn”
