Frolic virgins once these were, <br />Overloving, living here; <br />Being here their ends denied <br />Ran for sweet-hearts mad, and died. <br />Love, in pity of their tears, <br />And their loss in blooming years, <br />For their restless here-spent hours, <br />Gave them hearts-ease turn'd to flowers.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-pansies-or-hearts-ease-came-first/
