And brier and harebell bloom again,

I tread the pleasant paths we trod,

I see the violet-sprinkled sod

Whereon she leaned.

—JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

Sisters, ere the moon is set,

Twine the white, white violet,

While the dews are on it yet,

With the myriad-starrèd mignonette.

—FORCEYTHE WILSON.
