The Violet’s Spell
by
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Only a violet in the trodden street
Breathing its purple life out ‘neath the tread
Of hundreds restless, eager, hurrying feet
Ere set of sun the frail thing will be dead,
« Only a violet », so its loser said.

As in a dream the dusty street passed then,
Unheeded on my ear its tumult fell,
I saw a vision from the past again
T That wove across my heart a nameless spell,
Fond memories of a spot I once loved well.
