Violet (Blue). Faithfnines. 
The task befits thee well, 
To gather firmness as the tempests swell 
Around me still, companion, wife and friend, 
To cling in fond endurance to the end.

Violet (Sweet). 
NOVEMBER 29 
Modesty. 
Modesty’s the charm 
That coldest hearts can quickest warm ; 
Which all our best affections gains, 
And gaining, ever still remains. 
J’aulding, 
The violet droops its soft and bashful brow. 
But from its heart, sweet incense fills the air; 
So rich within—so pure withal—art thou, 
With modest mien and soul of virtue rare.

- NOVEMBER 30 -.. 
Virgin’s Bower ....... Filial affection. 
’Twas the earliest link in love’s warm chain— 
’Tis the only one that will long remain : 
And as year by year, and day by day, 
Some friend still trusted drops away, 
Mother ! dear mother ! Oh ! dost thou see 
How the shortened chain brings me nearer thee ? 
Willis.
