Holy Cross Day
In the night of legend, soldiers were watching
A voice rang out, and with a brightness shining
Appeared two men, who came to the great stone
That closed the sepulchre, and then as if blown
By a mighty wind, it rolled, gave way to the side
It was opened, and the two young men went inside
Then the soldiers roused the centurion and elders
Told them what they had seen, then these bystanders
Saw three men leave the sepulchre, shining in light
Two leading one by the hand, and he so very bright
Glory overpassing the heavens, and a cross followed
A voice sounded, "Thou hast preached to the abode
of them that sleep", and from the cross came a reply
"Yea," it said, "even to death and darkness so defy
Against all the suffering, against all the sorrow
Of golden dawn rising, of hope for the morrow."
