Loving Easter Greetings.....


...with

See the land, her Easter keeping,
Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,
Burst at last from winter snows. 




 Earth with heaven above rejoices;
Fields and gardens hail the spring;
Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices,
While the wild birds build and sing. 





You, to whom your Maker granted
Powers to those sweet birds unknown,
Use the craft by God implanted;
Use the reason not your own.
Here, while heaven and earth rejoices,
Each his Easter tribute bring-
Work of fingers, chant of voices,
Like the birds who build and sing. 

 by Charles Kingsley


FROHE  OSTERN!




HAPPY  EASTER !




JOYEUSES  PAQUES !



The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings.
Easter by Joyce Kilmer

  1. Liebe Karin,
    ich komme gerade aus dem winterlichen Berlin.
    Der Frühling findet momentan nur inside statt!

    Verpackt wie die Weihnachtsmänner strolchten wir durch die Straßen.

    Deine Bildauswahl läßt den Frühling erahnen.

    Frohe Ostern!
    ♥ Franka

  12. What delightful Easter greetings!
    Usually there are "funny" bunnies cavorting at Easter. But these hares have so much dignity!
    The poetry is all new to me, and goes perfectly with its matching photos.
    Of them all, though, the photo with the eggs and the "halo" on the fence is an artwork in its own right.
    Too late for Easter wishes, perhaps --- but still in time to wish you all the fresh happiness of eternally recurring springtide. With loving wishes--- Judith
