GOD'S WILL, by ROBERT LOUIS MUNGER First Line: I know, I know where violets blow Last Line: And god knows why. | |||
I KNOW, I know where violets blow Upon a sweet hillside, And very bashfully they grow And in the grasses hide -- It is the fairest field, I trow, In the whole world wide. One spring I saw two lassies go, Brown cheek and laughing eye; They swung their aprons to and fro, They filled them very high With violets -- then whispered low So strange, I wondered why. I know where violet tendrils creep And crumbled tombstones lie, The green churchyard is silence-deep; The village folk go by, And lassies laugh and women weep, And God knows why. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHERE CUPID DWELLS by ROBERT LOUIS MUNGER LIMERICK by OLIVER BROOK HERFORD LOVE NOT by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON THE VAGABONDS by JOHN TOWNSEND TROWBRIDGE THE VANISHERS by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 1.
