'''''Christ in Creation''''' ''by Joseph Mary Plunkett (1887-1916)'' I see his blood upon the rose And in the stars the glory of his eyes His body gleams amid eternal snows, His tear 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 every thorn, His cross is every tree.
