Iris

Softly on the mountain side
Purpureal pantomimists perform their cadences,
Guided by the wind’s fluted song.

Lovely on the mountain side
As Nature’s collection
Of flags and banners
Which float so gracefully in the breeze.

Japanese beauties in silken kimonos pass before us,
Displaying the choistest Oriental costumes.

Spanish maidens in their motley shawls
Are frolicking on the veranda,
Their gay laughter echoing in the court.

Beautiful flower maidens
With delicately tattooed bosoms
And enticing lips
That lore the bedouins of the air.

Irises

Softly on the mountain side,
Purpureal pantomimists perform their cadences,
Guided by the white wind’s fluted song.

Lovely on the mountainside,
Is Nature’s gallery of Art,
With its waving banners floating in the breeze.

Japanese beauties stand arrayed in bright kimonos,
Displaying the choisest Oriental costumes
Of all ages.

Spanish maidens in their motley shawls
Sway slowly in a light, exotic dance.

Gardens enriched with superb fluorescence,
Blossoms enchanting with their iridescence,
Delicately tattooed bosoms that lure,
And lips that entice the bedouins of the air.
