Easter in Days Gone By

Manhattan Skyline ~ Easter weekend, 1956

 

 There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, 

The earth, and every common sight,

                          To me did seem

                      Apparelled in celestial light,

            The glory and the freshness of a dream.

It is not now as it hath been of yore;—

                      Turn wheresoe'er I may,

                          By night or day.

The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

~ William Wordsworth
