The Violet.

Down in a green and shady bed
 A modest violet grew. Its stalk was bent, 1t hung its head, As If to hide from view. And yet it was lovely flower;
 No colors bright and fair It might have graced a rosy bower Instead of hiding there. Yet, there 1t was content to bloom, In modest tints arrayed; And there diffused its sweet perfume Within the silent shade. Then let me to the valley go,
 This pretty flower to see, That may also learn to grow
 1n sweet humility
