In the seven days to Easter
The hyacinth is his two thousand years of love,
The tulip, beauty of triumph, the waving of palms,
The camelia, strength he needed in Gethsemene,
The anemone, a passion play, bloodshed of shame,
The primrose, a ring of the King’s love eternal,
The sweet pea for Easter day, dove songs a-winging,
The daffodil, our learning from Resurrection, life-path to joy.
