| This was a sweet white wildwood violet | B |
| I found among the painted slips that grow | C |

| How the sun shines and how the cool winds blow | C |

| The violet took the orchid's colouring | E |
| Tricked out its dainty fairness like the rest | F |

| And the wood's heart was wild within its breast | F |
| - | |
| The orchid mostly is the flower I love | G |
| And violets the mere violets of the wood | H |
| For all their sweetness have not power to move | I |
| The curiosity that rules my blood | J |
| - | |
| Yet here in this spice laden atmosphere | K |
| Where only nature is a thing unreal | L |
| I found in just a violet planted here | M |
| The artificial flower of my ideal | L |

| April hearted Lilian | O |
| April with our love began | P |

| So the fancy of an hour | S |
| Born of sudden sun and shower | S |
| Braves the winter and has blossomed | T |
| Into flower | S |
