That waves in summer air | B |
Its blossoms have the mightiest power | A |
To soothe my spirit's care | B |
- | |
There is a spell in purple heath | C |
Too wildly sadly dear | D |
The violet has a fragrant breath | E |
But fragrance will not cheer | D |
- | |
The trees are bare the sun is cold | F |
And seldom seldom seen | G |
The heavens have lost their zone of gold | F |
The earth its robe of green | G |

And ice upon the glancing stream | H |
Has cast its sombre shade | I |
And distant hills and valleys seem | H |
In frozen mist arrayed | I |
- | |

The blue bell cannot charm me now | J |
The heath has lost its bloom | K |
The violets in the glen below | L |
They yield no sweet perfume | K |

But though I mourn the heather bell | M |
'Tis better far away | N |
I know how fast my tears would swell | M |
To see it smile today | N |

And that wood flower that hides so shy | O |
Beneath the mossy stone | P |
Its balmy scent and dewy eye | O |
'Tis not for them I moan | P |

It is the slight and stately stem | Q |
The blossom's silvery blue | R |
The buds hid like a sapphire gem | Q |
In sheaths of emerald hue | R |

'Tis these that breathe upon my heart | S |
A calm and softening spell | M |
That if it makes the tear drop start | S |
Has power to soothe as well | M |
- | |
For these I weep so long divided | T |
Through winter's dreary day | N |
In longing weep but most when guided | T |
On withered banks to stray | N |
- | |
If chilly then the light should fall | U |
Adown the dreary sky | O |
And gild the dank and darkened wall | U |
With transient brilliancy | V |
- | |
How do I yearn how do I pine | W |
For the time of flowers to come | X |
And turn me from that fading shine | W |
To mourn the fields of home | Y |
