Excerpt: ...Though why to thee Such joy should be Who carest not, While I must wait Here desolate, I cannot wot. O what I 'd do To come with you! PRIMROSE AND VIOLET Primrose and Violet- May they help thee to forget All that love should not remember, Sweet as meadows after rain When the sun has come again, As woods awakened from December. How they wash the soul from stain! How they set the spirit free! Take them, dear, and pray for me.
