| 282. Easter |
| I GOT me flowers to straw 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. | |
| Yet though my flowers be lost, they say | 5 |
| A heart can never come too late; | |
| Teach it to sing Thy praise this day, | |
| And then this day my life shall date. |
