O pansy violetB
With early April wetC
How frail and pure you lookD
Lost in this glow worm nookD
Of heaven holding hillsA
Down which the hurrying rillsA
Fling scrolls of melodiesA
O'er which the birds and beesA
Weave gossamers of songE
Invisible but strongE
Sweet music webs they spinF
To snare the spirit inF

II-
-
O pansy violetB
Unto your face I setC
My lips and do you speakG
Or is it but some freakG
Of fancy love impartsA
Through you unto the heart'sA
Desire whispering lowH
A secret none may knowH
But such as sit and dreamI
By forest side and streamI

III-
-
O pansy violetB
O darling floweretB
Hued like the timid gemJ
That stars the diademJ
Of Fay or Sylvan SpriteB
Who in the woods all nightB
Is busy with the bloomsA
Young leaves and wild perfumesA
Through you I seem t' have seenK
All that such dreams may meanK

O pansy violetB
Long long ago we metB
'T was in a Fairy taleM
Two children in a valeM
Sat underneath glad starsA
Far from the world of warsA
Each loved the other wellN
Her eyes were like the spellN
Of dusk and dawning skiesA
The purple dark that dyesA
The midnight his were blueO
As heaven the day shines throughO

O pansy violetB
What is this vague regretB
This yearning so like tearsA
That touches through the yearsA
Long past when Myth and FableP
In all strange things were ableP
To beautify the EarthQ
Things of immortal worthQ
This longing that to meL
Is like a memoryL
Lived long ago of thoseA
Fair children who it knowsA
Loved with no mortal loveL
Whom smiling heaven aboveL
Fostered and when they diedB
Laid side by loving sideB

O pansy violetB
I dream remembering yetB
A wood god guarded tombR
Out of whose moss a bloomR
Sprang with three petals wanS
As are the eyes of dawnT
And two as darkly deepU
As are the eyes of sleepU
O flower that seems to holdB
Some memory of oldB
A hope a happinessA
At which I can but guessA
You are a sign to meL
Of immortalityL
Through you my spirit seesA
The deathless purposesA
Of death that still evolvesA
The beauty it resolvesA
The change that aye fulfillsA
Life's meaning as God willsA
