White, blue and amber.

—CELIA THAXTER.

The vales shall laugh in flowers, the woods

Grow misty-green with leafing buds,

And violets and wind-flowers sway

Against the throbbing heart of May.

—JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

When springtime comes,

Primrose and violet haunt the mossy bank.

—HENRY G. HEWLETT.
