Primrose And Violet

Topics: classic

Primrose and Violet -     May they help thee to forget     All that love should not remember,     Sweet as meadows after rain     When the sun has come again,     As woods awakened from December.     How they wash the soul from stain!     How they set the spirit free!     Take them, dear, and pray for me.
