“The Loveliest Flower of Easter,” Ensign, Apr. 1997, 11

The Loveliest Flower of Easter

Easter is flowers—

Usually daffodils, their golden trumpets

Bravely announcing spring;

Tulips sometimes,

Rainbows on stems;

Always lilies, looking like angels

In their waxen-white perfection;

Even violets, perhaps,

If you walk out in the woods.

But the loveliest flower of Easter,

Is it not our faith

That life will never end,

That though we die,

We will bloom again?
