Bitter-Sweet: A Poem
Holland, J. G. (Josiah Gilbert)
American poetry -- 19th century
The widow and the virgin: where are they?
The morn shall find them watching with the dead,
Like the two angels at the tomb of Christ,--
One at the head, the other at the foot,--
Guarding a sepulcher whose occupant
Has risen, and rolled the heavy stone away!
THE END.
