THE yIOLETS
Down In the meadow the vfeipts bloom,
Filling the air with their sweet perfume;
Dsintily Dodding their purpied heads.
While their feet are fast In the earthern' beds.
Miss Lady violets pretty and fair:
Sis courtcsies sweetiy to the summer air;
ModestIy hanging her dainty head
10 glance at the grasses around her spread.
The rain drops battle her when they come nigh;
The night winds sing her lullaby;
The dew irops kiss her every morn;
GA, shes the happest lady born.
