VIOLET, BLUE. 
Viola Odorata ,—Class 5, Order 1. 
Flowers bright blue. 
FAITHFULNESS. 
I would not wear a golden crown, 
Nor reign upon a throne, 
But o’er one true and loving heart, 
I would be queen alone. 
I would not have a servile throng, 
Press round to bow the knee, 
But one light, free and eager step, 
Haste homeward unto me. 
T would not have the breath of fame, 
Attempt my worth to prove, 
But I would have one warm heart keep, 
The memory of my love. 
I would beloved to thee and me, 
The priceless pearl be given 
That thy true heart may meet mine own, 
And each love each in heaven.
