Easter Song (C.M. Crowe / George Herbert)

Easter is the demonstration of God that
life is essentially spiritual and timeless.
--Charles M. Crowe 

I got me flowers to strew Thy way,
I got me boughs off many a tree;
But Thou wast up by break of day,
And brought’st Thy sweets along with Thee.
The sun arising in the East,
Though he give light and th’ East perfume,
If they should offer to contest
With Thy arising, they presume.
Can there be any day but this,
Though many suns to shine endeavour?
We count three hundred, but we miss:
There is but one, and that one ever. 

--George Herbert, Easter Song

Happy Easter from
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mill Valley!
