'And he casting away his garment rose and came to Jesus 'A
-
-
And he cast it down down on the green grassB
Over the young crocuses where the dew wasC
He cast the garment of his flesh that was full of deathD
And like a sword his spirit showed out of the cold sheathE
-
He went a pace or two he went to meet his LordF
And as I said his spirit looked like a clean swordF
And seeing him the naked trees began shiveringG
And all the birds cried out aloud as it were late springG
-
And the Lord came on He came down and sawH
That a soul was waiting there for Him one without flawH
And they embraced in the churchyard where the robins playI
And the daffodils hang down their heads as they burn awayI
-
The Lord held his head fast and you could seeJ
That he kissed the unsheathed ghost that was gone freeJ
As a hot sun on a March day kisses the cold groundK
And the spirit answered for he knew well that his peace was foundK
-
The spirit trembled and sprang up at the Lord's wordL
As on a wild April day springs a small birdL
So the ghost's feet lifting him up he kissed the Lord's cheekM
And for the greatness of their love neither of them could speakM
-
But the Lord went then to show him the wayI
Over the young crocuses under the green mayI
That was not quite in flower yet to a far distant landN
And the ghost followed like a naked cloud holding the sun's handN
