' T l e f- lower Tell me, oh, breath of the violets! Whisper, oh, soul of the rose ! As you rest on the breast of my Margaret — Fairest, as every one knows. Fairest of all in the ball-room, Fairest and proudest, 1 ween ; Worshiped afar by her lovers. Hailed by her sisters as Queen. Tell me, oh, breath of the violet ! Whisper, oh, rose, rich red ! Do you know that the light of the morning Will find you all withered and dead .- ' Oh, violet, tender and modest, Do you think and sadly sigh For your mossy green bank by the brook, Where you stole your blue from the sky ? Do you dream, oh, rose, of your garden, Where the wind brought your color so red From the blood of heroes fallen, On distant battle-fields dead ? When my lady bows to her partner. Your heads sink low on her breast ; Can you dream, oh, rose, of your birthplace ? Can the violet long for its nest ? The hours of death would be easy Could 1 find a pillow so fair ; Could I feel the touch of her fingers Softly caressing my hair. H. R. K.
