Abstract

GARY H. PATERSON A BURDEN OF EASTER VIGIL AWHILE meet Doubt and Faith: For either sigheth and saith, That he is dead To-day: the linen cloths cover His head, That hath, at last, whereon to rest; a rocky bed. Come! for the pangs are done, That overcast the sun, So bright to-day! And moved the Roman soldier: come away! Hath sorrow more to weep? Hath pity more to say? Why wilt thou linger yet? Think on dark Olivet; On Calvary stem: Think, from the happy birth at Bethlehem, To thus last woe and passion at Jerusalem! This only can be said: He loved us all; is dead; May rise again. But if He rise not? Over the far main, The sun of glory falls indeed: the stars are plain.

Farmer that "Johnson est ici tout près d'Arnold et ces premières verses portent déjà l'empreinte de la souffrance intime qui est la raçon d'un age, trop avide de certitude" and (incorrectly) by A. W.
