the air.

—JOHN TODHUNTER.

Are there violets in the sod,

Crocuses beneath the clod?

When will Boreas give us peace?

Or has Winter signed a lease

For another month of frost,

Leaving Spring to pay the cost?

For it seems he still is king,

Though ’tis spring.

—CHRISTOPHER PEARSE CRANCH.

See, the violets call from out the grasses,

Look, the purple answers from the ground;

Azure melts and to that warbler passes,

Sudden, a sky-fleck on the fences found!

—CHARLES DE KAY.

I know that thou art the word of my God, dear violet.

—SIDNEY LANIER.

On sheltered banks, beneath the dripping eaves,

Spring’s earliest nurselings spread their glowing leaves,

Bright with the hues from wider pictures won,

White, azure, golden,—drift, or sky, or sun;—

The snowdrop, bearing on her patient breast

The frozen trophy torn from winter’s crest;

The violet, gazing on the arch of blue

Till her own iris wears its deepened hue;

The spendthrift crocus, bursting through the mould,

Naked and shivering with his cup of gold.

—OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
