TRIOLET: THOSE VIOLETS BLUE by H. W. BANKS

First Line: THOSE VIOLETS BLUE ON MY LADY'S BREAST
Last Line: NESTLING THERE IN SWEET CONTENT.
Subject(s): BREASTS; FLOWERS;
THOSE violets blue on my lady's breast,
Nestling there in sweet content,
Peeping coyly forth from their nest,
Those violets blue on my lady's breast, --
@3They@1 are the flowers I love best,
With their sylvan perfumes redolent, --
Those violets blue at my lady's breast,
Nestling there in sweet content.
