From Death hollow-eyed,”

the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,

The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!”

In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.”
