Book Excerpt: 
. . .The songbird thoughts flit to and fro. —ETHEL M. KELLEY. Violets steeped in dreamy odors, Humble as the Mother mild, Blue as were her eyes when watching O’er her sleeping child. —ADELAIDE PROCTOR. O Mother Nature, kind to every child Blessed with the gift of speech, the gift of grace, Teach thou the modest violet, shy and wild, To look with trustfulness into my face. —ISAAC B. CHOATE. [Pg 32] In Farsistan the violet spreads Its leaves to the rival sky. —RALPH WALDO EMERSON. My love, whose lips are softer far Than drowsy poppy petals are, And sweeter than the violet. —ANDREW LANG. From wintry days blue violets shrink From wintry lives blue eyes will turn. —HARRISON ROBERTSON. Her eyes be like the violets Ablow in Sudbury lane; When she doth smile, her face is sweet As blossoms after rain. &. . . Read More
