Lines On Violets.

Topics: classic

Once, while digging 'neath the snow,             'Mid Canadian winter, lo!             To our joy and surprise                 We saw some violets in full bloom,             Gazing at us with loving eyes,                 Thanking us for opening their tomb,             Yet still they seemed so cozy and nice             Enshrined in the crystal ice,             While all else were drooping dead             Gaily they held up their head.
