CANDIED VIOLETS 

By BY HARRY B. SMITH 

O VIOLET, Sweet violet, 

The bards have sung about you, 

And all the poets would regret 

Who had to do without you. 

They've sought you in the forest glade 

And sung of you unbidden, 

When deep in the sequestered shade 

They found you coyly hidden.

O violet,you bring delight 

In heralding the May-time; 

The faries dance 'round you at night, 

The children in the daytime. 

Where careless mortals scarce can see 

Your dewy face you cover; 

For azure eyes a simile 

You furnish every lover.  

O violet, sweet violet, 

So dainty and so modest, 

Concerning you now etiquette 

Prescribes a style the oddest. 

The blossom that the poets wooed 

Is candied now to munch on, 

Is manufactured into food 

And passed around at luncheon.
