LAETARE DAY
In a dear rout of loneliness
how life again sang sweet
when fasting arms knew banqueting
and avid eyes could feast;
and the long Lent of love was eased
for one Laetare Day.
But afterwards came Lent again:
again the fasting way.

Yours reads easier than Farron's, which hasn't the smooth rhymes characteristic of your short lines. However, his imagery is distinct and pleasant.
