The winter past, reviving flowers
Anew shall paint the plain;
The woods shall near the voice of Spring.
And flourish green again.
Shall man depart this earthly scene.
Ah! never to return!�
No second Spring of life revive
The ashes of the urn!�
Shall life revisit dying worms,
And spread the insect's wing?
And oh�shall man awake no more.
The Saviour's name to sing?
"Cease�all ye vain desponding fears;
When Christ from darkness sprang,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heav'n with praises rang.
"The trump shall sound;�the gates of death
Shall make his children way;
From the cold tomb the slumb'rers spring,
And shine in endless day."
