Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...the reverent ecstasy. "'Behold, I Stand at the Door." 85 Neglected is the house thy love doth lend; The ashes of dead fires bestrew the hearth; And still I hear thy voice. O Heavenly Friend, Come down to sup with me upon the earth, What if at last thou shouldst the slight repay, And welcome me as I do thee to-day? DEAD BIRDS AND EASTER. T was an Easter morning, bright and calm, And life, not death, was the glad theme that day; The air was full of spring's delicious balm; The maple buds were drooping on the way; And one sweet leaf, with flush of crimson on it, Fell on the dead birds of a woman's bonnet. What say the bells at these good Easter times? They tell of vanquished death and risen life. Dead Birds and Easter. 87 Hush, then, O bells, your inconsistent chimes, You and the dull old world are hard at strife; For surely, when the crimson leaf fell on it, I saw dead birds upon a woman's bonnet! What does it cost, --this garniture of death? It costs the life which God alone can give; It costs dull silence where was music's breath; It costs dead joy, that foolish pride may live. Ah, life, and joy, and song--depend upon it--Are costly trimmings for a woman's bonnet! 88 Dead Birds and Easter. Oh, who would stop the sweet pulse of a lark, That flutters in such ecstacy of bliss, Or lay a robin's bright breast cold and stark, For such a paltry recompense as this? Oh, you who love your babies, think upon it, --Mothers are slaughtered, just to trim your bonnet! Will Herod never cease to rule the land, That we must slay sweet innocency so? Is joy so cheap, or happiness sure planned? Tell me, O friend, who art acquaint with woe! Does thy sad heart proclaim no protest on it? Wouldst thou slay happiness, just for a bonnet? Dead Birds and Easter. 89...
