Short Easter Poems

An Easter Flower Gift By John Greenleaf Whittier

O dearest bloom the seasons know,

Flowers of the Resurrection blow,

Our hope and faith restore;

And through the bitterness of death

And loss and sorrow, breathe a breath

Of life forevermore!

The thought of Love Immortal blends

With fond remembrances of friends;

In you, O sacred flowers,

By human love made doubly sweet,

The heavenly and the earthly meet,

The heart of Christ and ours!

Jennifer Hayden By Jennifer Hayden

Easter morning bright and fair

Tells me of God’s loving care.

Flowers that were gone from view,

Now awakening, bloom anew.

Though God’s face I do not see,

I will trust His care for me.” 

Angels Rolled the Stone Away By Evaleen Stein

Christ the Lord is risen to-day!

Angels rolled the stone away

From the tomb wherein He lay!

Little children, come and sing,

‘Glory, glory to the King,

Christ the Lord of everything!

When I Think Of Easter By Michael A Burke SR

Now when I think of Easter,

I don’t think of material things.

I use it as a reminder

Of the joy it brings.

I think of the garden after the rain;

And hope to my heart comes singing,

At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,

And the Easter bells be ringing! 

Easter Poems For Church

May Your Easter Be Happy By Bill Hoeneveld

May your Easter be happy,

May your day be bright,

May you enjoy the treats,

And sweet delights.

But remember the meaning,

Remember God’s gift,

Remember the resurrection,

May your soul uplift. 

Good Friday Evening By Christina Rossetti 

No Cherub’s heart or hand for us might ache, 

No Seraph’s heart of fire had half sufficed: 

Thine own were pierced and broken for our sake, 

O Jesus Christ.

Therefore, we love Thee with our faint good-will,

We crave to love Thee not as heretofore,

To love Thee much, to love Thee more, and still

More and yet more.

Easter Comes But Once a Year

Easter comes but once a year

But when it does, we all know its here

Children filling themselves with chocolate

Dad’s down the pub for a pint of beer!

We go to the church for the wine and bread

Dad’s half asleep, and jerking his head

Baby sister is here too, munching away

On the free Easter egg that the Priest gave us today

But remember we must, that the Lord died for us

And ascended into heaven to give us fresh lives

For each and every one of us.

His Love By Joanna Fuchs

His love

God sent His Son to take the punishment

For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do;

Jesus gave his life because He loves us;

His love is boundless, sweet, forever true.

On Easter morn He showed He is our Savior;

His resurrection proves He is our Lord.

That is why we tell you,

“Happy Easter!”

He secured our heavenly reward! 

May The Glad Dawn By Anonymous

May the glad dawn

Of Easter morn

Bring joy to thee.

May the calm eve

Of Easter leave

A peace divine with thee.

May Easter night

On thine heart write,

O Christ, I live for thee!

Easter Lilies By Cela Thaxter

Easter lilies! Can you hear

What they whisper, low and clear?

In dewy fragrance they unfold

Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold.

Every beauty-breathing bell

News of heaven has to tell.

Listen to their mystic voice.

Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice!

Hark, their soft and heavenly chime!

Christ is risen for all time!

On Easter Day By June Masters Bacher

On Easter Day the lilies bloom,

Triumphant, risen from their tomb;

Their bulbs have undergone rebirth,

Born from the silence of the earth

Symbolically, to tell all men

That Christ, the Saviour, lives again.

The angels, pure and white as they,

Have come and rolled the stone away

And with the lifting of the stone,

The shadow of the cross is gone!

Cute Easter Poems

Five Little Easter Eggs

Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore;

Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.

Four little Easter eggs, two and two, you see;

Daddy ate the red one, then there were three.

Three little Easter eggs, before I knew,

Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.

Two little Easter eggs; oh, what fun,

Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.

One little Easter egg; see me run!

I ate the very last one, and then there were none.

Christ The Lord Is Risen To-Day By Evaleen Stein

Christ the Lord is risen to-day!

Angels rolled the stone away

From the tomb wherein He lay!

Little children, come and sing,

“Glory, glory to the King,

Christ the Lord of everything!

With A Hip And A Hop By Leanne Guenther

With a hip and a hop—

Easter bunny won’t you stop,

At my house to hide some yummy little eggs.

Then you’ll jump out and run –

Down the street for some fun,

Zippity quick on your fuzzy, furry legs.

To hide treats for the others –

Boys and girls –even mothers,

Treats galore packed in baskets and bright bags!

Easter bunny makes a call!

Happy Easter always brings

Such a lot of pleasant things!

I’m An Easter Bunny By Susan M. Paprocki

I’m an Easter Bunny, watch me hop. (hop around)

Here are my two eats, see how they flop. (hold hands at sides of head and flop them)

Here is my cotton tail, here is my nose, (wiggle hips, then point to nose.)

I’m all furry from my head to my toes. (point to head, then to toes) 

Bunny Easter Poem 

Hip And A Hop By Leanne Guenther

With a hip and a hop—

Easter bunny, won’t you stop

At my house to hide some yummy little eggs.

Then you’ll jump out and run—

Down the street for some fun,

Zippity quick on your fuzzy, furry legs.

To hide treats for the others—

boys and girls—even mothers,

Treats galore packed in baskets and bright bags!

Cute Little Bunny By Anonymous 

That cute little bunny has hopped all day,

delivering baskets for the holiday.

His paws are so tired and his nose how it itches,

He left you something special to fulfill all your wishes—

Lots of cute little Easter bunny hugs and kisses.

Easter Bunny

Easter bunny soft and white

Hopping quickly out of sight,

Thank you for the eggs you bring

At Easter time to welcome spring.

Yellow eggs and blue and red

In the grass and flower bed

We will hunt them everywhere

Is it really you who put them there?

Christian Easter Poems

The Day of Resurrection By St. John of Damascus

The day of resurrection! 

Earth, tell it out abroad the Passover of gladness, 

the Passover of God. 

From death to life eternal, 

from earth unto the sky, 

our Christ hath brought us over, 

with hymns of victory.

Our hearts be pure from evil,

that we may see aright

the Lord in rays eternal 

of resurrection light; 

and listening to his accents, 

may hear, so calm and plain, 

his own “All hail!” and, hearing, 

may raise the victor strain.

Now let the heavens be joyful! 

Let earth the song begin! 

Let the round world keep triumph, 

and all that is therein! 

Let all things seen and unseen

their notes in gladness blend,

for Christ the Lord hath risen,

our joy that hath no end.

Easter Lilies

Easter lilies! Can you hear

What they whisper, low and clear?

In dewy fragrance they unfold

Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold.

Every beauty-breathing bell

News of heaven has to tell.

Listen to their mystic voice.

Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice!

Hark, their soft and heavenly chime!

Christ is risen for all time!

Easter Wings By George Herbert

Lord, who created man in wealth and store,

Though foolishly he lost the same,

Decaying more and more

Till he became

Most poor:

With thee

O let me rise

As lark, harmoniously,

And sing this day the victories:

Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

My tender age in sorrow did begin:

And still with sicknesses and shame

Thou didst so punish sin,

That I became

Most thin.

With thee

Let me combine,

And feel this day thy victory:

For, if I imp my wing on thine,

Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

Mere Christianity By C.S. Lewis

Keep nothing back.

Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead.

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay.

But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him, everything else thrown in.

An Easter Prayer By Helen Steiner Rice

God, give us eyes to see

the beauty of the Spring,

And to behold Your majesty

in every living thing.

And may we see in lacy leaves

and every budding flower

The Hand that rules the universe

with gentleness and power.

Good Friday

Am I a stone, and not a sheep,

That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross,

To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss,

And yet not weep?
