THE VIOLET BOOK But who hath breathed the scent of violets, And not that moment been a lover glad? —ARLO BATES.
Go, modest little violets, and lie upon her breast; Your eyes will tell her something—perhaps she’ll guess the rest!
THE VIOLET BOOK
Arranged by WILLIS BOYD ALLEN
“Such a starved bank of moss, Till, that May morn, Blue ran the flash across: Violets were born.” Browning
