“I see His blood upon the rose...”

Share Share Post

(continued from previous page)

I see His blood upon the rose,
And in the stars the glory of His eyes;
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.
I see His face in every flower;
The thunder and the singing of the birds
Are bud His voice - and, carven by His power,
Rocks are His written words.
All pathways by His feet are worn;
His strong heart stirs the ever beating sea:
His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn,
