A BUNCH OF VIOLETS.
Copyright. 1895. by Kunkel Bros.
By Edith Kingsley.
I've brought you a bunch of blue violets,
All sparkling fresh with dew;
It's only a bunch of sweet violets,
With my love I bring to you.
It's nestling along in my path at morn,
While I'm thinking, love, of you;
It is only a bunch of blue violets, .
The sweetest flow'r that grows.
Chorus.
Only a bunch of sweet violets, dear, little, modest violets:
Violets, love, like your eyes so blue, violets sweet for you.
Only a bunch of sweet violets, dear, little, modest violets:
Take them from me with my love so true, sweetest violets for you.
When with the spring time all the violets
Have faded, love, away,
Then only the violets in thine eyes
Are the flow'rs that ne'er decay.
And as in our love all the world seems bright,
Not a thought of care we'll borrow;
With a kiss I will give you my violets.
The sweetest flow'r that grows.- Chorus.
