OT Iris Poetry


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  wrote:

Thou art the Iris, fair among the fairest,
Who armed with golden rod 
And winged with the celestial azure, bearest 
The message of some God.

Thou art the Muse, who far from crowded cities
Hauntest the sylvan streams,
Playing on pipes of reed the artless ditties
That come to us as dreams.

O flower-de-luce, bloom on and let the river
Linger to kiss thy feet!
O flower of song, bloom on and make forever
The world more fair and sweet.

I liked it!
