VIOLETS.
Sweet smelling flowers, A gift from above, Still moist with the dew Of God’s Holy Love. The fragrance rare Which thou doth impart, Oft banishes care From a sorrowing heart. Sweet smelling flowers, A token of spring, The dampness of morn To thy petals still cling. Emblem of Hop© Thy presence so nigh, Will ever denote Onr King from on high. Snoi/ro J. Thomson. Sentinel road, Auckland.
