H ere are festive flowers for your room,
A spray of springtime on your bare night table:
P laced upon a place within your view;
P laced where best to light your harried heart.
Y et my blossoms can't dispel your gloom,
E ven were they many times more able:
A ll that gifts from loving friends can do
S ings just one unaccompanied inner part.
T he music cannot come from aught but you,
E vangelist beside the empty tomb
R ejoicing in the grace of life and art.
