Fall Violet

                   by Cornelia

Green Moss Grew on a large grey stone,
and with that moss there all alone
a violet of deepest blue
a violet of autumn grew

I think before, I'd never seen
a violet except in spring
except in spring but then it grew
and it was fall and birds were few

And it was on a mountain stone,
on mountain top and all alone.
This violet smiled up at me
and it was blue as blue could be

Have you ever a blossom seen,
A violet except in spring?
I'll show you where this fall one grows
for I'm the only one who knows.
