Though many a flower may win my praise,
The violet has my love;
I did not pass my childish days
In garden or in grove:
My garden was the window-seat,
Upon whose edge was set
A little vase—the fair, the sweet—
It was the violet.


The Violet from The Literary Souvenir, 1831 - The Vow of the Peacock (1835)
