✿ Violets ✿

'Dear little violet, with thy dewy eye,
Look up and tell me truly
When no one is nigh,
What thou art.'
The violet answered with a gentle sigh:
'If that is to be told when alone,
Then I must sadly own
It will never be known
What am I
For my brothers and sisters are all around
In the air and on the ground
And they are the same as I.'
