O pansy violet | B |
With early April wet | C |
How frail and pure you look | D |
Lost in this glow worm nook | D |
Of heaven holding hills | A |
Down which the hurrying rills | A |
Fling scrolls of melodies | A |
O'er which the birds and bees | A |
Weave gossamers of song | E |
Invisible but strong | E |
Sweet music webs they spin | F |
To snare the spirit in | F |

II | - |

O pansy violet | B |
Unto your face I set | C |
My lips and do you speak | G |
Or is it but some freak | G |
Of fancy love imparts | A |
Through you unto the heart's | A |
Desire whispering low | H |
A secret none may know | H |
But such as sit and dream | I |
By forest side and stream | I |

O pansy violet | B |
O darling floweret | B |
Hued like the timid gem | J |
That stars the diadem | J |
Of Fay or Sylvan Sprite | B |
Who in the woods all night | B |
Is busy with the blooms | A |
Young leaves and wild perfumes | A |
Through you I seem t' have seen | K |
All that such dreams may mean | K |

O pansy violet | B |
Long long ago we met | B |
'T was in a Fairy tale | M |
Two children in a vale | M |
Sat underneath glad stars | A |
Far from the world of wars | A |
Each loved the other well | N |
Her eyes were like the spell | N |
Of dusk and dawning skies | A |
The purple dark that dyes | A |
The midnight his were blue | O |
As heaven the day shines through | O |

O pansy violet | B |
What is this vague regret | B |
This yearning so like tears | A |
That touches through the years | A |
Long past when Myth and Fable | P |
In all strange things were able | P |
To beautify the Earth | Q |
Things of immortal worth | Q |
This longing that to me | L |
Is like a memory | L |
Lived long ago of those | A |
Fair children who it knows | A |
Loved with no mortal love | L |
Whom smiling heaven above | L |
Fostered and when they died | B |
Laid side by loving side | B |

VI | L |
- | |
O pansy violet | B |
I dream remembering yet | B |
A wood god guarded tomb | R |
Out of whose moss a bloom | R |
Sprang with three petals wan | S |
As are the eyes of dawn | T |
And two as darkly deep | U |
As are the eyes of sleep | U |
O flower that seems to hold | B |
Some memory of old | B |
A hope a happiness | A |
At which I can but guess | A |
You are a sign to me | L |
Of immortality | L |
Through you my spirit sees | A |
The deathless purposes | A |
Of death that still evolves | A |
The beauty it resolves | A |
The change that aye fulfills | A |
Life's meaning as God wills | A |
