The little flowers came
through the ground
At Easter-time, at Easter-time,
They raised their heads
and looked around,
At happy Easter-time:
And every little flower did say,
“Good people, bless this holy day,
For Christ is risen, the angels say,
At happy Easter-time.”
The pure white lily raised its cup,
The crocus to the sky looked up,
“We’ll hear the song of love,”
they say,
“Its glory shines on us to-day,
O may it shine on us alway,
At happy Easter-time.”
‘Twas long and long and long ago,
But still the pure white lilies blow,
And still the little flower doth say,
“Good people, bless this holy day,
For Christ is risen, the angels say,
At happy Easter-time.”
