Naples	A
	-
	-
Through the great sinful streets of Naples as I past	B
With fiercer heat than flamed above my head	C
My heart was hot within me till at last	B
My brain was lightened when my tongue had said	C
Christ is not risen	D
	-
Christ is not risen no	E
He lies and moulders low	E
Christ is not risen	D
	-
What though the stone were rolled away and though	E
The grave found empty there	F
If not there then elsewhere	F
If not where Joseph laid Him first why then	G
Where other men	G
Translaid Him after in some humbler clay	H
Long ere to day	H
Corruption that sad perfect work hath done	D
Which here she scarcely lightly had begun	D
The foul engendered worm	I
Feeds on the flesh of the life giving form	J
Of our most Holy and Anointed One	D
	-
He is not risen no	E
He lies and moulders low	E
Christ is not risen	D
	-
What if the women ere the dawn was grey	H
Saw one or more great angels as they say	H
Angels or Him himself Yet neither there nor then	G
Nor afterward nor elsewhere nor at all	K
Hath He appeared to Peter or the Ten	G
Nor save in thunderous terror to blind Saul	K
Save in an after Gospel and late Creed	L
He is not risen indeed	L
Christ is not risen	D
	-
Or what if e'en as runs the tale the Ten	G
Saw heard and touched again and yet again	G
What if at Emma s' inn and by Capernaum's Lake	M
Came One the bread that brake	M
Came One that spake as never mortal spake	M
And with them ate and drank and stood and walked about	N
Ah 'some' did well to 'doubt'	N
Ah the true Christ while these things came to pass	O
Nor heard nor spake nor walked nor dreamt alas	O
He was not risen no	E
He lay and moulder low	E
Christ was not risen	D
	-
As circulates in some great city crowd	N
A rumour changeful vague importunate and loud	N
From no determined centre or of fact	N
Or authorship exact	N
Which no man can deny	P
Nor verify	P
So spread the wondrous fame	Q
He all the same	Q
Lay senseless mouldering low	E
He was not risen no	E
Christ was not risen	D
	-
Ashes to ashes dust to dust	N
As of the unjust also of the just	N
Yea of that Just One too	N
This is the one sad Gospel that is true	N
Christ is not risen	D
	-
Is He not risen and shall we not rise	R
Oh we unwise	R
What did we dream what wake we to discover	S
Ye hills fall on us and ye mountains cover	S
In darkness and great gloom	T
Come ere we thought it is our day of doom	T
From the cursed world which is one tomb	T
Christ is not risen	D
	-
Eat drink and play and think that this is bliss	U
There is no Heaven but this	U
There is no Hell	V
Save Earth which serves the purpose doubly well	V
Seeing it visits still	W
With equallest apportionment of ill	W
Both good and bad alike and brings to one same dust	N
The unjust and the just	N
With Christ who is not risen	D
	-
Eat drink and die for we are souls bereaved	N
Of all the creatures under heaven's wide cope	X
We are most hopeless who had once most hope	X
And most beliefless that had most believed	N
Ashes to ashes dust to dust	N
As of the unjust also of the just	N
Yea of that just One too	N
It is the one sad Gospel that is true	N
Christ is not risen	D
	-
Weep not beside the tomb	T
Ye women unto whom	T
He was great solace while ye tended Him	Y
Ye who with napkin o'er the head	N
And folds of linen round each wounded limb	Y
Laid out the Sacred Dead	N
	-
And thou that bar'st Him in thy wondering womb	T
Yea Daughters of Jerusalem depart	N
Bind up as best ye may your own sad bleeding heart	N
Go to your homes your living children tend	N
Your earthly spouses love	Z
Set your affections not on things above	Z
Which moth and rust corrupt which quickliest come to end	N
Or pray if pray ye must and pray if pray ye can	A2
For death since dead is He whom ye deemed more than man	A2
Who is not risen no	E
But lies and moulders low	E
Who is not risen	D
	-
Ye men of Galilee	B2
Why stand ye looking up to heaven where Him ye ne'er may see	B2
Neither ascending hence nor returning hither again	G
Ye ignorant and idle fishermen	C2
Hence to your huts and boats and inland native shore	D2
And catch not men but fish	E2
Whate'er things ye might wish	E2
Him neither here nor there ye e'er shall meet with more	D2
Ye poor deluded youths go home	F2
Mend the old nets ye left to roam	F2
Tie the split oar patch the torn sail	G2
It was indeed an 'idle tale'	G2
He was not risen	D
	-
And oh good men of ages yet to be	B2
Who shall believe because ye did not see	B2
Oh be ye warned be wise	R
No more with pleading eyes	R
And sobs of strong desire	S
Unto the empty vacant void aspire	H2
Seeking another and impossible birth	I2
That is not of your own and only mother earth	I2
But if there is no other life for you	N
Sit down and be content since this must even do	N
He is not risen	D
	-
One look and then depart	N
Ye humble and ye holy men of heart	N
And ye I ye ministers and stewards of a Word	N
Which ye would preach because another heard	N
Ye worshippers of that ye do not know	E
Take these things hence and go	E
He is not risen	D
	-
Here on our Easter Day	N
We rise we come and lo we find Him not	N
Gardener nor other on the sacred spot	N
Where they have laid Him there is none to say	N
No sound nor in nor out no word	N
Of where to seek the dead or meet the living Lord	N
There is no glistering of an angel's wings	J2
There is no voice of heavenly clear behest	N
Let us go hence and think upon these things	J2
In silence which is best	N
Is He not risen No	E
But lies and moulders low	E
Christ is not risen	D
