Aldrich, Thomas Bailey, 1836-1907 · Boston, CT : Hall and Locke · leaf 45
TO VIOLETS. ELCOME, maids of honor,You do bringIn the Spring,And wait upon her. She has virgins many,Fresh and fair;Yet you are More sweet than any. Y are the Maiden Posies,And so graced,To be placed, Fore damask roses. Yet though thus respected. By and by Ye do lie,Poor girls, neglected. 17
