George Herbert’s “Easter Wings” is a celebration of Christ’s resurrection, which is presented as the means by which humankind overcomes sin and attains freedom. The poem consists of two ten-line stanzas of varying line lengths, which in their printed form on the page he originally wrote it on resemble the wings of a bird. So it's D. He wrote it in 1611. Thats why there are diffrent spellings and sentence forms.
