Many a maiden passes me With sunny brow and smile of glee, Young bright eyes upon me shine; Violet, amid them all I pine For that more beautiful smile of thine! One hour of Eden in the morn, At noon the wilderness forlorn; Hope waiteth till the sun is set;--There will be a summer yet For thee and me, my Violet. DE PROFUNDIS.
