empty stands a little cradle-bed,

A mother's falling tears the only sound;

But not of earth her thoughts, nor underground;

Up-gazing she discerns the Fountain-head

Of life; the living Voice she hears that said

'Fear not' to weeping women who had found

An empty tomb, and angels watching round,

Who asked 'Why seek the living with the dead?'
