WHO HATH DESPISED THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: As violets so be I recluse and sweet
Last Line: And bloom and make them fair.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


AS violets so be I recluse and sweet,
Cheerful as daisies unaccounted rare,
Still sunward-gazing from a lowly seat,
Still sweetening wintry air.

While half-awakened Spring lags incomplete,
While lofty forest trees tower bleak and bare,
Daisies and violets own remotest heat
And bloom and make them fair.
