SONG.


Violet! sweet violet!
Thine eyes are full of tears;
   Are they wet
   Even yet
With the thought of other years?
Or with gladness are they full,
For the night so beautiful,
And longing for those far-off spheres?

Loved-one of my youth thou wast,
Of my merry youth,
   And I see,
   Tearfully,
