She wrote the following Easter poem.

            I do not know how a shriveled bulb,

            That seems so dry and dead

            Can spring to life when April Comes

            And be a flower instead.

            I do not know how Christ, Our Lord

            Could be in the quiet tomb

            And then come forth to

            Meet his friends,

            Again in the upper room.

            I do not know, I need not know

            Why death takes life anew.

            Suffice my heart to understand

            That these strange things are true.
