...SOClETY...
aw a miracle today!

saw a miracle today!
Where the September sunshine lay
Languidly as a lost desire
Upon a sumachs fading fire.
Where calm some nallid asters trod.
Indifferent past a golden rod.
Beside a gray haired thistle set
A perfect purple violet.
I wonder what 1t were to miss
The life of spring, and live ike thlsE
To bloom so lone. to bloom so late.
And were it worth the while to wait
So long for such a little day?
And were it not a better way
Never. indeed (worst might befalD.
To be a violet at all?
So lonely when the spring was gone,
So calm when autumn splendor shone.
So peaceful midst the blazing flowers,
So blessed through the golden hours.
SO might have boomed my love for
the.
1t is not. and it cannot be
1t cannot. must not be-and yet.
/ picked for thee the violet.
Elizabeth Stuart Philips Ward.
