Banks that slope to the southern sky
Where languid violets love to lie.

Attributed Forty Thousand Quotations (1917)

Here oft we sought the violet, as it lay
Buried in beds of moss and lichens gray.

Attributed Forty Thousand Quotations (1917)

A love-tint flushes the wind-flower’s cheek,
Rich melodies gush from the violet’s beak,
On the rifts of the rock, the wild columbines grow,
Their heavy honey-cups bending low.
