i TO A VIOLET fWith due apologies to Joyce Kilmerj I have never seen as yet, A flower lovely as a violet, A vr- et in leafy bed, Meelzly holding up her headg A violet of all the hues From purple tints to sunset blues. Her stem's so deeply green and slender, Her leaves, so gracefully formed and tender. Her poise she holds with graceful ease, Gently swaying with the breeze. She looks to God a way up there, Lifting her soft, sweet face in prayer. She may be found in many a place, On hillside green, 'mong ferny lace, In pasture lot, in cozy nook, Beside a rippling, babbling brookg Reposing there in pure, sweet bliss, Deserving of an angel's kiss- Always a tempting little flower, Matter not what be her bower. Gifted with a fairy tongue, She whispers to the one among The flowers in quiet search of cheer, He who listens will find it here. A violet with tendrils deep, Under the sky her vigils keepg A violet in lowly sod, Is a token of love, placed there by God. Elizabeth Manchester Allen. Page One Hundred and One ff ' '52
