<h3> Calvary<br/> </h3>
<p class="poem">
The women stood and watched while thick, black night<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">Enclosed the awful tragedy. Afar</SPAN><br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">Three crosses stood, against a single bar</SPAN><br/>
Of crimson-glowing, black-encircled light.<br/>
No hint of Easter dawn. In all the height<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">Of that dark heaven, not a single star</SPAN><br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">To whisper;—Love and Life the victors are.</SPAN><br/>
It seemed to them that wrong had conquered right.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
O ye who watch and wait, the night is long.<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">A curtain of spun fire and woven gloom</SPAN><br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 2em">Across the mighty tragedy is drawn.</SPAN><br/>
But soon your ears shall hear a triumph song,<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">And golden light shall touch each sacred tomb,</SPAN><br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 2em">And voices shout at last—The Dawn! The Dawn!</SPAN><br/></p>
