The front of this postcard has a Easter greeting, while the back has an Easter poem on it.

[Draft Created by Crowdsourcing]
Like an angel, through the
world
You have gone your
shining way,
Spreading hope, and help,
and cheer,
Turning darkness into day;
Ever succoring the weak,
Fearing not to face the strong,
And, as honey draws the bees,
Drawing hearts your path
along.
Inner peace with you abide,
On this anxious Eastertide!
Alice Stone Blackwell.
