About This Book

A compact collection of lyrical poems and short narratives that meditate on motherhood, faith, and the consolations found in nature. Many pieces recall childhood and domestic scenes, confront suffering and loss, and draw on Christian imagery to offer comfort and moral reflection. The verse moves between contemplative monologue, descriptive nature writing, and occasional narrative sketches, balancing personal feeling with devotional and ethical concerns. Throughout, simple pleasures—flowers, seasons, quiet homelife—are set against questions of destiny, grief, and spiritual hope.

He Is Risen.

Crown of all our joys supernal
Is the hope of life eternal;
Burst in bloom ye lillies white!
Wreathe the altar and the cross,—
Dawn is born of brooding night,
Heaven’s joy of earthly loss,—
He is Risen!
In the starry fields of Heaven
Mansions bright, to us, are given:
Triumph o’er the grave He won
In the resurrection morn—
Life eternal is begun,
Hope to all the world is born,
He is Risen!
He hath passed thro’ Heaven’s portal,
We, thro’ Him have life immortal—
Death is met with faith and trust—
The tomb is lighted by His love;
Earth may claim the crumbling dust—
Souls will dwell with Christ above.
He is Risen!
Think not thou art left forsaken
Tho’ by sorrow’s tempest shaken;
From His son, God veiled his face—
Heaven’s light was e’en withdrawn,
But the cruel cross made place
For the glorious Easter dawn—
He is Risen!
