So long as there’s a sun that sets, Primroses will have their glory; Long as there are violets They will have a place in story. --WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.
Go, azure myrtle blossom, Go, violets and jasmine fair, And star the darkness of her hair, Or faint against her bosom. --GRACE GREENWOOD.
Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale jessamine, The white pink and the pansy freaked with jet, The glowing violet. --JOHN MILTON.
God does not send us strange flowers every year. When the spring winds blow o’er the pleasant places, The same dear things lift up the same fair faces-- The violet is here.
It all comes back: the odor, grace and hue; Each sweet relation of its life repeated: No blank is left, no looking-for is cheated; It is the thing we knew.
So after the death-winter it must be. God will not put strange signs in the heavenly places: The old love will look out from the old faces. Veilchen! I shall have thee! --ADELINE D. T. WHITNEY.
The violets whisper from the shade, Which their own leaves have made. --CHRISTINA ROSSETTI.
