Violets

E. Riley

Ev'ry morn I send thee violets

Which at daybreak I have culled,

And at night I bring thee roses

Which by twilight I have pulled.

Know'st thou what the pretty flowers

Tender secretly would say? Ah! Ah!

Thou shalt dream of me the night long

And be true to me by day. Ah! Ah!

Thou shalt dream of me the night long

And be true to me by day.
