THE VIOLET. 



JAMIE BEATTY. 



E. L. DANFORTH. 



1 j Down in a green and sha - dy bed A mod - est vio - let grew, 



j Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, As if to hide from (Omit.) view; 



o j It was a flower so fair, so frail, Yet not a per - son knew 



\ Where in its grass - y rest - ing-place, The hum - ble vio - let (Omit.) grew ; 





And yet 

 But God 



it was a love - ly flower, Its col - or rich and rare; 

 a - lone, who gave it life, Looked down with ten - der care, 



It might have grown in ro - sy bower, In - stead of hid - ing there. 

 To see that lit - tie flow - 'ret pure, So sweet -ly bloom-ing there.
