Verse 1
Now the green blade riseth from the buried grain, 
Wheat that in dark earth many days has lain; 
Love lives again, that with the dead has been: 
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green. 
 
Verse 2
In the grave they laid him, love whom men had slain, 
Thinking that never he would wake again. 
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen: 
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green. 
 
Verse 3
Forth he came at Easter, like the risen grain, 
He that for three days in the grave had lain. 
Quick from the dead my risen Lord is seen: 
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green. 
 
Verse 4
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain, 
Thy touch can call us back to life again; 
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: 
Love is come again, like wheat that springeth green.
