                                     ~   Out of the clover  ~

                                     purple violets appear
                               petals of five adorn each violet

                            I will take my time looking for the right
                            purple violets for my table, pretty are they
                                  a look of grace, on my table

                           Pretty purple violets, as a child of five
                              a bouquet in my small hand
                                     violets for my dolls

                          I went to the dooryard again to gather
                         a fine bouquet  to set on my writing table
                                the parlor doors are set open

                             Guests are coming this afternoon
                      purple violets color will be welcomed
                            a cup of tea ~ a sweet tart

                          A breeze is light, clouds of pearly white
                          pass over the clover where the 
                                    purple violets appear

                          Lovely the morning sun against
                                  the window pane
                            my favorite place to sit is
                           upon the warm window sill

                      Enchanting are the violets
                                 color of royal purple 
                               appearing  from the clover

                           Time was spent on a lovely morning
                                 gathering purple violets 
                                     five petals adorn

                                       tea is served
