 | The golden violet, with its tales of romance and chivalry |  |
Sooth to say, the sight was fair,
When the lady unbound from her raven hair
The Golden Violet. O praise!
Dear thou art to the poet's lays.
Many a flash from each dark eye pass'd,
Many a minstrel's pulse throbb'd fast,
As she held forth the flower.
When the lady unbound from her raven hair
234
Dear thou art to the poet's lays.
Many a flash from each dark eye pass'd,
Many a minstrel's pulse throbb'd fast,
As she held forth the flower.
