Algernon Charles Swinburne
Heart's ease of pansy, pleasure or thought, Which would the picture give us of these? Surely the heart that conceived it sought Heart's ease.
|
Bayard Taylor
Pansies in soft April rains Fill their stalks with honeyed sap Drawn from Earth's prolific lap.
|
Bret Harte (Francis Bret Harte)
The delicate thought, that cannot find expression, For ruder speech too fair, That, like thy petals, trembles in possession, And scatters on the air.
|
Ellen Mackay Hutchinson Cortissoz
They are all in the lily-bed, cuddled close together-- Purple, Yellow-cap, and little Baby-blue; How they ever got there you must ask the April weather, The morning and the evening winds, the sunshine and the dew.
|
George Chapman
I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this, O, that's for lover's thoughts.
|
Mary Howitt
Heart's ease! one could look for half a day Upon this flower, and shape in fancy out Full twenty different tales of love and sorrow, That gave this gentle name.
|
Sarah Doudney
I send thee pansies while the year is young, Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night; Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung By all the chiefest of the Sons of Light; And if in recollection lives regret For wasted days and dreams that were not true, I tell thee that the "pansy freak'd with jet" Is still the heart's ease that the poets knew Take all the sweetness of a gift unsought, And for the pansies send me back a thought.
|
Thomas John Ouseley
The beauteous pansies rise In purple, gold, and blue, With tints of rainbow hue Mocking the sunset skies.
|
William Shakespeare
Yet marked O where the bolt of Cupid fell. It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
