three lilies on the same stalk swayed
Christ have mercy, the dark away
must roll must roll old sorrows
from thy grave
three lilies swayed
three roses trellised in the stars in May
in May the soul was called away
for love of the Trinity, Easter day
Christ have mercy, the dark away
must carry must carry old tears
three violets in the sky today
appeared to dye the skies of blue
and iris also,
and I am writing this poem to You
Trinity old and Trinity new
Christ have mercy,
my poems renew.
into the shining day.
