Late Violets
Fast-hidden in October's grassy swales
Late violets lay; we found them, you and I,
While gusty winds unbridled galloped by
And smoky Indian-summer filled the vales;
And when the grass divided in the gales
They glinted there like bits of Autumn sky,
Then disappeared, as sylvan fairies shy
When clamor rude their close retreat assails.
Late violets; blue as deep-sea depths unstirred,
They nestled there, and heard the pulse of earth
Reverberate within its hollow girth
Like to a giant echo, faint and blurred;
And far beyond the sweep of Winter's wing
We saw their paler sisters of the Spring.
