Many thanks for finding the Housman poem and reading it in such a meaningful way...it's so valuable to have the poem re-invoked at this time.

What a surprise to me. I came across this exact poem on Saturday afternoon. I had a small gift for a friend's birthday. I had just picked up an old book of verses from a thrift store. I decided to quickly pick a small pleasant poem, cut it out, and roll it up and attach it to the box in lieu of a bow. I chose The Stars Have Not Dealt Me by Housman, which was right above this same Easter Hymn. What a pleasant surprise to hear you read it.

"Little blue dreamer go to sleep

Let's close our eyes and call the deep

slumbering land that just begins

When day is done and little dreamers spin.

The Jackson Song by Patti Smith
