With the cooling showers wet,

Fresh and upright, blooms the sunny

Golden-yellow violet.

—DORA READ GOODALE.

Saintly violets, plucked in bosky dell.

—CLINTON SCOLLARD.

Thy feasting tables shall be hills

With daisies spread, and daffadils;

Where thou shalt sit, and red-brest by,

For meat, shall give thee melody.
