First Line: Now will I weave white violets

Alternate Author Name(s): Meleagros
Subject(s): Flowers; Perfume


NOW will I weave white violets, daffodils
With myrtle spray,
And lily bells that trembling laughter fills,
And the sweet crocus gay:
With these blue hyacinth, and the lover's rose
That she may wear --
My sun-maiden -- each scented flower that blows,
Upon her scented hair.
