Violets, shy violets! <br />How many hearts with you compare! <br />Who hide themselves in thickest green, <br />And thence, unseen, <br />Ravish the enraptured air <br />With sweetness, dewy fresh and rare! <br /> <br />Violets, shy violets! <br />Human hearts to me shall be <br />Viewless violets in the grass, <br />And as I pass, <br />Odours and sweet imagery <br />Will wait on mine and gladden me!<br /><br />George Meredith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/violets-6/
