Iris

Iris, most beautiful flower
~
Iris, most beautiful flower, Symbal of life, love and light; Found by the brook, and in the meadow, Or lofty, on arable height. You come in such glorious colours, In hues, the rainbow surpass; The chart of colour portrays you, In petal or veins of your class, You bloom with the first in Winter, With the last, in the Fall, you still show; You steal the full beauty of Springtime. With your fragrance and sharp colour glow. Your form and beauty of flower, An artist's desire of full worth; So Iris, we love you and crown you, MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER ON EARTH!
~
