Iris in Gethsemane

The Iris-Lilies in Gethsemane
With wings uplifted cheered the Master's soul
And bade Him look to Heaven's Empery
Where wounds are healed and spirit is made whole;                              
For there among their beauty all divine
Calmly He prayed, "Thy will be done, not mine."
