DOWN A WOODLAND WAY, by                    
First Line: As I was strolling down a woodland way
Last Line: Save three wild violets among the grass.


As I was strolling down a woodland way,
I met fair Spring, a garland on her arm;
She stood a moment gazing in dismay,
Then turned and fled away in swift alarm.

And as I strove to follow her swift flight
Along the way that I had seen her pass,
No trace of her remained to meet my sight
Save three wild violets among the grass.
