He kissed the blossom, and bent very low, And put it to her lips-—and even so His lips were set on them ; the flower sighed | For deep delight, and in the long kiss died. Years fled and faded, yet a flower was seen Grac…

…. Amonc the lilies of the sacred stream There grew a violet, like a maiden’s dream, And when the wind passed over them, it stirred Their white soft petals with its quiet word. The sun looked on them and their leaves were glad ; Only the purple blossom there, that had No kindred by the stream, let fall a tear, Half wishing for the autumn of the year.
