  1. I see his blood upon the road
    And in the stars the glory of his eyes.
    His body gleams amid eternal snows.
    His tears fall from the skin
    I see his face in every flower
    The thunder and the singing of the birds.
    Are but his voice and carved 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.
