Easter Poems

There are many Easter poems with springtime motifs for the popular holiday Easter. These can be found on greeting cards, as well as online. Here are just a few of them.

Here is a popular Easter poem by Winfred Sackville Stoner Junior:

As Easter breathes hope for a joyous tomorrow, Even out of the depths of despair, So may this day banish from you every sorrow, And make you feel free as the air.

This Easter poem continues – while hearing grand anthems that swell to the sky, and reading sweet Lilie's perfume, may you feel assured that your soul will not die, as life does not end in the tomb.

This entry into Easter poems presents the rebirth symbolized by the spring season in which the Easter holiday takes place.

Another of the Easter poems is called Easter Carol by Ellen Robina Field.

The world is filled with gladness; the bells of Easter ring; Each pure white lily's waking, to welcome infant spring.

This Easter poem has a chorus, much like a song.

Oh, dear little children, listen, and hear what the glad bells say! The sweetest time they ever read – our Lord is risen today!

Some Easter poems are based more on the spring holiday rather than the religious aspect. One of these is Five Little Easter Eggs.

Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore: mother a blue one, then there were four.

Four little Easter eggs, two and two, you see: Danny 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.

Another of the Easter poems is based on the popular Christmas poem the Night Before Christmas. It goes like this:

Was the day before Easter, and all through the woods, the bunnies were busy packing their goods. The eggs were all colored so pretty and bright, all things were go for the big, special night.

It ends very similarly to the Night Before Christmas. He uttered no sound as he hopped all about hiding the eggs and leaving no doubt, that the Easter Bunny had come much as he does every year, bringing baskets of happiness to children so dear.
