The YELLOW VIOLET.

When beechen buds begin to swell
And woods the buebirds' MARBLE know,
The yellow yiolet's modest bell
Peeps from the last years leaves below.
Ere russell fields their green resume,
Sweet flower, love in forest bare
To meet thee, when thy faint perfume
Alone is in the virgin air.
OF all her train the hands of spring
First plant thee in the watery mold,
And have seen thee poisoning
Beside the snowbank's edges cold.
Thy parent sun, who bade thee view
Pale skies, and chilling moisture sip,
Has bathed thee in his own bright hue
And streaked with jet thy glowing lip.
Yet slight thy form and low thy seat,
And earthward bent thy gentle eye,
Unapt the passing view to meet,
When loftiss flowers are Haunting nigh.
