Here are festive flowers for your room, A spray of springtime on your bare night table: Placed upon a place within your view; Placed where best to light your harried heart. Yet my blossoms can't dispel your gloom, Even were they many times more able: All that gifts from loving friends can do Sings just one unaccompanied inner part. The music cannot come from aught but you, Evangelist beside the empty tomb Rejoicing with all innocence and art. |
