Discovered on a night walk, this beautiful white iris flower really glowed. White Iris by Bliss Carman White Iris was a princess In a kingdom long ago, Mysterious as moonlight And silent as the snow. She drew the world in wonder And swayed it with desire, Ere Babylon was builded Or a stone laid in Tyre. Yet here within my garden Her loveliness appears, Undimmed by any sorrow Of all the tragic years. How kind that earth should treasure So beautiful a thing-- All mystical enchantment, To stir our hearts in spring!
