Yales, musical with many streams. 
Cling to the mountain-side, 
Where romance lures the soul to dreams. 
As beauty entertains the gleams 
By sun and brook supplied. 
Long, winding paths, with roses strewn. 
Emit their scented charms, 
And at the sultry hour of noon, 
When quiet seems a blessed boon, 
There's rest in Nature's arms!

“No flowers grew in the vale, 
i Kissed by the dew, wooed by the gale,— 
None by the dew of the twilight wet. 
So sweet as the deep -blue violet.” 
,1 — Anon. 
The violet is a plant and flower of the genus Viola , of many species. 
They are generally low, herbaceous plants, and the flowers of many of the 
species are of some shade of blue. 
“The modest, lowly violet 
In leaves of tender green is set; 
So rich she cannot hide from view. 
But covers all the bank with blue.” 
—Dora B. Goodale.
