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 but 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 ever thorn,
His Cross is every tree.
Joseph Mary Plunkett (1879-1916).
